Despite tiring of documenting the continuing rise of the fixie (The Sunday Times, of all organs, recently moaned about the predictability of the urban hipster's most likely choice of wheels), we thought this was worth sharing.
What is it? It's the Obamabike, of course. Obviously.
A collaboration between Geekhouse Bikes, Animal New York and Dan Funderburgh, purveyor of fine wallpapers and prints, the bike is being auctioned on ebay to raise funds for Obama's campaign. Not that he needs it. But it's the thought that counts, isn't it?
Besides the fundraising aspect, what sets this apart from the many fixie collabos is the presence of Mr Funderburgh's intricate pattern design, as you can see here. It looks so good I wouldn't want to ride it.
But what tickled us most was that this could only be for Obama, couldn't it? The fixie is such a signifier of youthful, urban cool that you'd struggle to imagine a similar fundraising effort for McCain.
Get your bids in here.
you guys really love bikes don't you ;)
