A Bike With A Midas Touch

So. You've made billion of dollars. You own all sort of supercars from Bentley to the Royce to Bugatti Veyron. While those made you speed like no other, what else could you buy? Go slow (in speed of course) and buy this bike instead! Oh ho ho.. it's not your typical BMX or mountain bike that you bought at Argos. This one with a touch of class. A Midas touch, perhaps. Splattered with gold - some all over it, some just a stint of gold on the frame. And some with more bling bling than you can ever imagine.

This bike is from Aurumania. (Aurum or Au is a scientific name for gold, that is). These limited edition two-wheels come in three choices - yet one thing in common: they are coated with 24 carat gold!

This bike is the uber one - Gold Bike Crystal Edition, with all visible parts are fully covered with gold, and also decorated with 600 Swarovski crystals. Only 10 is specially made and cost a whopping 80,000 Euros each! Yikes!! Buy this one, those people in white gloves will deliver it for you (not the lab gloves, silly..)

For those who like to go less blingy, this one only covered in gold on the frame and forks while other parts in polished aluminum. Still quite pricey @ 21,000 Euros each!

Or if you wanna go a bit sombre, take this one instead - codenamed the Night bike - an intense black color with its wheel spikes coated with 24 carat gold. A headturner? Deffo. Price? Quite within reach @ 2000 Euros! (Suddenly Sam Sparro's Black & Gold sprung to my head when I see this bike, lol)

Well, I dunno whether you can really save the environment with these bikes unless you DO ride it frequently. But one thing for sure, people will keep it in the vault instead of leaving it in the garage! :)
