Ateliers d’Embellie Porteur Bike

The first piece from “Ateliers d’Embellie” has been released. This is a “Porteur bike”, which mix leather craft, urban style, fashion and luxury. Entirely handmade with rare, vintage and NOS parts, this bike is unique. In the streets, this bike mixes the agility & the reactivity of the track frame, to the comfort from the big tires or the large front rack. Powerful as much as elegant with the chrome, the copper touches and the color scheme, which is a classic vintage grey with brown leather hand made detailing.

Chris Boardman’s Theft-proof & Puncture-free Bicycle

Olympic cyclist Chris Boardman shows off his unique bike design which he not only says will be common in 20 years but is also theft-proof and features puncture-free tires. The futuristic-looking creation boasts a complete carbon fiber body with a built-in locking anti-theft mechanism which can only be activated by the touch of the bike owner’s fingerprints. Addition features include a calorie monitoring system, battery-powered assistance, and aforementioned puncture-free tires that have the ability to self-inflate. “It could be built now if there was a will. All the technologies are already there, it’s just that nobody’s put them all together before,” Boardman says.
