Has anyone seen it? Stealth-black track bike with a basket and some nonsense about a shopping competition?

I'm in the iPhone so I can't post a link but there's a pic on my Twitter feed. Twitter.com/Sparkes

seen it. obviuosly the bike looks all wrong to a trained eye, and its appropriation by a company totally unrelated to cycling.
however, in a rush, driving past or glimpsing it you cant tell what it is for-its just a bike, so that’s a good thing imo.

I like that you can see the people who took the snap reflected in these shots. You can see me looking all soggy and confused in this one; http://img22.yfrog.com/i/xordq.jpg/

Looks like Victoria Pendleton went shopping and left her bike outside ;)

The basket is doing horrendous things to the airflow around that bike...

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
