wrong context of mine. Think gold bike is porn? ok i guess (like the gold) but not really special.
The bike, the most expensive in Britain, is too expensive to be insured - so it comes with its own personal body guard.
The bicycle, which has a 24ct gold-framed machine and is custom-made, has been commissioned by the Environmental Transport Association (ETA), an insurance provider.
Not only is it environmentally-friendly to cycle but the money also goes to ETA, a non-profit organisation who campaigns for sustainable transport.
The bike started from a Charge Plug, a model that common London cycle couriers have, which starts at some £399.
It was then stripped, polished, plated in copper and then finished in 24ct gold.
