Drum roll please …
The Chainless Bicycle!
Velocars
OK, so maybe some of these aren’t technically bicycles – they’re tricycles or quadracycles – but how cool would it have been to have a velocar (also read velomobile or human powered vehicle – HPV) as a kid?
Vintage Schwinn Bicycles
Ahh – those were the days …
… When a Schwinn was a great bike.
But check the garage, because not only are antique and vintage Schwinn bicycles very cool – they can also be worth quite a bit of money when restored.
Schwinn Cruiser Bike
There’s no doubting that the Cruiser bike is a classic, and the old Schwinn cruisers are gems.
Concept Bicycles
Concept bicycles are the cycling equivalent of bicycle porn. The average cyclist isn’t likely to ever have one, but they’re great to look at.
