Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

World's Lightest Bike

I took a look around the forum and i didn't see this on here so please delete this thread if it exists already.

anyway I was on Gizmodo and I happened to come across this

https://gizmodo.com/5649362/45000-wil...-lightest-bike

Not really in most people price range but interesting non the less.

I have one of the little monkey-bikes (not as small as that one). I had the bright idea of posting it in the Sub-15 lb-bike thread. I went down to the post office and weighed it. 16 lbs. That little sucker was heavy. Steel is real, and all that.

Shhhhh!

Besides, mine's titanium with carbon wheels, seatpost, and bars. Tried speedplays, but the cleat kept scraping on the ground. I have to ride it with toe-clips and straps.

I feel like sucha hipster wannabee...
