Clearly, over here we're all about biking. So, we're counting down the days with mounting excitement for the Museum Of Arts And Design's (MAD) new exhibition,
Bespoke: The Handbuilt Bicycle
, opening up Thursday. Displaying the designs of six world-renown bicycle masters (who knew there was such a thing?), the show's got perhaps the coolest bikes ever. There's 21 hand-built bicycles that are part function, part works of art, with a range of contemporary models for every type of rider—fixed-gear, road racing, cyclocross, and commuter are all included. The epic exhibit is part of MAD Projects, a museum program that explores emerging trends and innovations in the design world. Look for Sacha White's tripping tricycle and Jeff Jones's super-futuristic titanium model. We suggest stopping by to get some major inspiration for summer cycling—we guarantee you'll definitely be the raddest roadster on the trail.
