The Fluxa Bike is not just a bicycle geared towards women, it specifically addresses the needs of the fashionable female. Not only is it stylish itself with its sweeping handlebars and striking choice of color options, the Fluxa Bike is designed to accommodate the various outfits a woman would want to rock during a day out on the town without sacrificing her preferred mode of transportation.
Designed by Callie Clark, the Fluxa Bike was inspired by the New York City fashionistas. Yanko Design reports that she noted "the most popular shapes, textures and prints being worn and translating them to the language of 2 wheels." This resulted in a lower bar structure to allow women to wear their favorite dress as well as high heel-friendly pedals.
