Designer Lorenzo Martone, who is known primarily for his work in fashion, is behind these extremely sleek bike designs. Inspired by his own deep love of bicycles, Lorenzo created Martone Cycling Co. which is a company that focuses on creating bikes which are both functional and fashionable. These designs are ideal for cyclists who want to ride around in style.
Many of the bikes designed by Martone feature large baskets at the front, which is a throwback to more traditional leisure bike designs. These bicycles are painted in bold, eye catching colors such as fire engine red, and gold. Some of these designs incorporate colorful bike chains as well. The white bike, for instance, has a bubble gum pink chain. This draws immediate attention to the design.
These chic bicycles may not be great for mountain biking, but they're perfect for casually riding around town.
