Posted in Art, Gold, Worlds Most Expensive on 24 September 2008
The world seems to have endless millionaires despite millions who might not even know how many zeroes comprise a million! Now don’t be surprised if you soon meet an affluent guy boasting of a bike as one of his prized possessions because this bicycle is any thing but ordinary. Gold was always the world’s favorite metal and designers of all sorts keep inventing splendid ideas to play on it. A Scandinavian design company Aurumania has launched a limited edition run of 10 of the world’s most expensive bike. Each bike is hand-built and gold-plated with 24-carat gold, then decorated with over 600 Swarovski crystals.
Hand-sewn leather grips and a Brooks leather saddle provide finishing touches to the bike, with each limited edition number embossed with gold leaf and set into a leather badge onto the bike’s headtube.This “Golden Beauty” would ease you of €80,000.you would love to ride it but its something to flaunt off the track! Being in line with this thought the Company has also created a 24-carat gold wall holder for the bike, to be displayed as a work of art. Go on then and get the Golden Display for your wall, if you are lucky enough to do so, but make sure no one rides away with it!

With the surging need for water and comparatively less supply or more wastage, it is now posing a question to our existence. It is the sole thing that helps us rehydrate and disinfect our self. And I feel pity for areas facing the water scarcity that makes them compromise to their routine schedule. Having realized this; the Aquaduct Mobile Filtration Vehicle concept is being devised by designers David Janssens, John Lai, Adam Mack, Brian Mason, Eleanor Morgan and Paul Silberschatz. The mobile concept comes outfitted with a large tank along with a smaller one called the clean tank. The functionality of the concept details from haulage, filtration and storage of water for use in the developing era. While peddling, the pump connected to the knob will pull water from the large water tank (passing through the filter) and lastly to the clean tank.

I just go crazy with the thought of riding a two-stroke carbon-spewer on rough woods, slashing up the lawn and terrifying the natural world but wonder if there is any meticulous way to travel. Whilst electric ATVs are a great step towards this trend, here comes a second option of pedal power, worth a try. Called the “Trailcart,” it is a human-powered four-wheeler with enduring four-wheel drive. True it doesn’t have that much of torque as an ATV powered by an engine but for sure it would be a wise oprion with obvious benefit: the manufacturers are working out ways to maintain its weight under 50 kilograms, making it comfortable enough to lift over impediments that it might not otherwise clear.
