Over at Bicycle Design<\/a> I saw this bike that Shultzy and and  mate have banged up together:<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
It’s part of a competition by Porsche to design a product that uses at least three design concepts from their cars. That would explain this spoiler on the rear mudguard:<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Dickhead car owners have been added superfluous spoilers for years so it’s about time we cyclists started weighing ourselves down with some useless design elements too.<\/p>\n

I take it that the striking looking bike above isn’t actually a bike, it’s a picture of a bike. It’s not too fanciful though, looking like something that could make it into production without too many changes. You can read Shultzy’s version<\/a> over here and see some more pictures<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He’s competing for the Porsche Next Design Challenge<\/a>. We all hope the bike takes out the big prize but he’s up against some stiff opposition.<\/p>\n

A torch:<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Another torch:<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
And an ice-boat:<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Obviously the ice-boat will be hard to beat. And the torch people have cunningly included an example of how the torch works in “the human environment”. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I hope it’s not too late for Schultz to draw a stick figure over the bike.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
And oh, the bike isn’t actually a single-speed, so maybe we don’t care after all. It’s sporting an Alfine 8-speed hub. Well, the picture is anyway. Not sure the bike actually exists in the flesh. When they do, we can  all line up with about $10,000 and get one each. Beautiful.<\/div>\n
