The fact that Fern Chacha is truly the best touring bike is mainly due to two experienced designers who are also passionate cyclists.

Air pollution appears more and more often on the agenda of TV reports, round tables and, after all, also in our conversations. It is a serious problem that especially large cities face, and the Dutch artist and innovator Daan Roosegaarde, who started the "Smog Free" project in 2014, is also aware of this. His first product, the Smog Free Tower, with which he installed the world's first air purifiers of this kind in Amsterdam in 2015, now has a sequel: a bicycle with a purifier.
Paul Timmer, a Dutch designer, carved the wheel from ash wood (without the addition of veneer or plywood), a wood renowned for its aesthetic qualities and strength. But that doesn't mean that riding with such a frame is hard. Quite the opposite. The wooden structure intercepts more vibrations on the way to the body, even more than carbon fibers. Nevertheless, the bike is durable, which is especially appropriate for a cyclocross bike.
At Prodriv, they know how to make a winning sports car, and now they have transferred this knowledge to the two-wheeled area. With years of accumulated experience, they managed to create the lightest folding bike in the world, which, among other things, also folds the fastest in the world.
Bambu Campos Bikes, as the company's name suggests, are made of bamboo rods combined with carbon fiber. They are hand-made by the Spanish company of the same name, which has produced a series of different custom-made bikes. Due to the use of bamboo and carbon, they are extremely light and neutralize vibrations extremely well.
The Italian company Pininfarina, whose main activity is the design of means of transport, has launched its first electric bicycle. In cooperation with the bicycle manufacturer Diavelo, they managed to develop the E-voluzione: an electric bicycle that, in terms of appearance and capabilities, no other similar product on the market reaches even to the knees (or chains).
The Bike Butler designer bike rack is the smartest bike rack on the market. At least that's what they say at the Milan design studio Vadolibero, where they came up with a multi-purpose bike holder, which is not only a bike holder, but also a rack for keys, sunglasses, mobile phones and other little things that we otherwise put away all over the apartment.
Gravity bikes have been on the scene for over 30 years, but they have yet to move from garage production to mass production. Although they are only working downwards in terms of function, their number is diligently "biting the knees", so it is only a question of time when production will move to the assembly line. Unofficial races are lined up around the world one after the other, which Tange saw as an opportunity that gave birth to the Yasujiro bike.
This is no ordinary means of transport, just like no ordinary bicycle. It is a work of art because of the way it is made and the material used.
German Kraftwerk are electronic music pioneers who have been creating since the 1970s. The seal they left or they still leave it, it is practically immeasurable. Like all musicians, Kraftwerk sometimes decide to collaborate. But this time it's not a musical connection, but a sports one. Bicycle manufacturer Canyon announced that they designed and produced a limited series of racing bicycles together with a musical group, which also took part in the Tour de France. The model was named the Ultimate CF SLX Kraftwerk.
Samsung has again pulled a new trump card up its sleeve. This time in the form of a bike that surprises with its innovative equipment.
Urban cycling is not cycling around the city as we know it. Urban cycling is not just transportation from point A to point B. It is a kind of adventure. Imagine your first BMX and the joys it brought you. The Speedvagen Urban Racer (Vanilla Workshop) strives for this kind of experience, which wants to awaken the child in you, the exuberant one, which it also pushes around. Minimalistic designed so as not to attract the attention of thieves and carbon rings, light aluminum frame and large wheels to cope with even bad conditions.
