Why does seemingly every car company do a bicycle prototype?

Why does seemingly every car company do a bicycle prototype?

Probably because the designers have some free time on their hands between projects and think they will have a go. Then unfortunately they go all style over substance (function) and it turns into a wankfest. Then some bright young corporate twonk thinks it would be a great PR gaff to build one and stick it on their stand at the next car show, just to show how clever the people that work for them are and.........

........the result is what you see in this thread.

I'll be the one riding a trabant.

Sayle has been a keen cyclist for many years - since before many members of this forum were born. And, just to point out: He didn't buy this bike - he borrowed it for a review, just as Jeremy Clarkson doesn't buy every Bugatti, Ferrari, Porsche or Spyker that he hoons around in.

I've seen Sayle on a Pete Matthews and a Dawes, but I think he has several more.

You are only right, look at this picture

Dear me. Money can't buy you love can it? All these bikes are horrible.

The s-works from specialized are gorgeous. £8,499.99

At least the Spyker kind of reflects the design philosophy of the car maker, ie totally daft.

For Twenty five grand, you'd have thought that it would come with a basket and some ribbon tassles on the handlebars...

I have had both a BSA and a Humber and both were fine cycles I had Humber sceptre which was a reasonable motor car never had one of the BSA cars though.

'ello John, got a new motor?

 

[Davywalnuts]

Am sure I was told Vicki P's track bike cost was £25k. I would love that bike, am sure it would fit a shorty like me..

 

[Flossyrockstar]

Yellow and black? what the f*** is wrong with these people?

I like yellow and black!

Slightly off topic are no smilies with an iPad?

Just saw Alexi Sayle cycle past (he lives close to where I work in Bloomsbury and often see him around) and on a £25k bike he was not!

It looks clunky, I don't like the frame beneath the bars, the wheels look odd, it's got Aston Martin written on the downtube so may attract envy vandalism, it's the colour of liquid diarrhea.

It's a bike,it should be worshipped.

When you can buy a bike for £10 why is there a need to spend any more, I am sure most of you would not do so.

I see some of them as art, now not everybody likes the same sort of art.
