$20,000 gold bike promises to fill green void in rich person’s life

June 6, 2008 · Print This Article

Want to ride the bike that Goldfinger would have ridden whether he weren’t so evil?

In the UK, the Environmental Transport organization, a not-for-profit that offers carbon-neutral insurance products, is looking to sell a gold-plated bicycle worth around £9500 ($20,000). considering it’s hard adequate to park your dad’s decrepit duct-taped and chicken-wired 1972 racing bike out in public without having it ripped off, the supercycle has an optional defense guard to keep an eye on it when you

leave it out front of the chip shop.

The bike is intended to promote the ETA’s bike insurance programs, and in keeping with the ethical nomenclature, was plated by a company that buys from small artisanal mines and is committed to sustainability and fair trade. whether you live in the UK, you can check out the ETA site for a chance to win a similar model - whether not, you’ll probably want to stick to more practical wheels.
