masters of product design: biomega
I need a bicycle. Mine got stolen some time ago and as my city [Basel] is one of the bike-friendliest cities in Europe, I really should start biking again. From my place, I can get to the station in three, to the center in two, to the French border in four and to the German border in five minutes. The river is just a two minute ride away and my favorite shops and clubs are at about the same distance. Spontaneously, I would like to buy this bike by Danish bicycle-maker biomega™. At first sight, it may look very unspectacular, but have a closer look at it: there's no chain. It's cardan-driven with a 7-speed gear built into the rear axle. Also not visible on the picture: the special paint glows in the dark. Apart from using top components, it's a product design masterpiece. Although it's quite lightweight, it's not a very sporty bike, but I guess it's superb for the city. And of course, the design... OK, I will test-drive one as soon as I have time and then either buy or forget about it... maybe tomorrow. or should I make an LJ poll again?
