The BLACKLINE Bike is marketed for those travelling in the city, looking for an eco-friendly means of transportation that's also safe. This bike was completed by Minimal Studio and Method Bikes for a design festival in Oregon.
Some features of the bike include LED lights on the handlebars with blinkers on the side to increase visibility for others when it's dark outside. The bike also comes equipped with a GPS system, which when connected to a smartphone app can give others the ability to see one's whereabouts. The bikes overall black design also gives it an edge, making it look pretty stealth moving through the streets.
For those who like to ride in style but don't want a car, the BLACKLINE is both safe and chic.
