Swedish Minimalistic Bicycle 'Spiran'. Whatay Beauty!
Sweden-based agency People People has designed a stylishly minimalistic bicycle 'Spiran' that carries the nostalgia of old messenger bikes. Built on the popular Kronan %28Bicycle%29model, the bicycle features a lightweight frame on slim racing tires that's added to offer maximum speed and agility.
An integrated bike lock in the front basket folds out to keep the bike safe around a fence or a post, thus refuting the need for the conventional bike lock. The chain gets replaced by a carbon fiber belt that needs no maintenance or lubrication (that's like eliminating a serious headache for bike-riders!). Also, the carbon fiber ensures reduced noise, thereby offering a quieter ride.

Ankita KatdareCool ride and even cooler idea for keeping it safe. Looks like they stripped it to the extremes so that only the utter basics are left.
All hail minimal! π -

Simply replacing the existing thinner tyres with a thicker one would do it. Wouldn't it? The belt should prove to be advantageous I guess. No more mud or sand in the greasy chain. Easy maintanence and cleaning achieved there.A.V.RamaniLovely looking. What would happen in the slushy roads of Bangalore?
I would like to have the basket removed though. Would like my handle bars feel not heavy by any means. No rider would like his handles feel not free, no matter what. -
Kaustubh KatdareDon't tell me Jonathan Ive designed it. π

ISHAN TOPREI am glad, they have left two wheels (with tyres), pedals, and what ever little we can see π
Just counting the number of spokes. Have they removed some of them too?π -
loveboxHmm... this is a nice design. The innovative locking concept and the carbon fibre belt they have incorporated are really impressive.

Cool one bro. π -
Abhishek RawalIt is tough to balance though. You'll need to apply equal force on both arms else you'll fall, which is quite physically tough & requires practice.
