World's Most Expensive Bicycle

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7941794.stm (Video)

A Danish designer has created what he claims is the "world's most expensive bicycle".

Coated throughout with 24-carat gold and studded with hundreds of Swarovski crystals, the bike is on sale for 80-thousand euros.

In the video, I love the last young lady's reaction....
"In Denmark, we just steal bikes...we don't pay for them, so to pay that large amount of money...its just silly"
It's silly indeed.

More pictures of the bike can be found here.

This story made me think of a little bike I encountered back in Amsterdam in 2006...



Stolen? Abandoned? Not sure, but definitely not ride-able.
