# Pride-Celebrating Bike Collections Schwinn Launched the 'Pride Artist Series' of Bicycles By Colin Smith | Published 2022-06-04 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pride-artist-series References: [schwinnbikes](https://www.schwinnbikes.com/pages/prideartistseries) & [32auctions](https://www.32auctions.com/VentureOutProject)  [Schwinn](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ridgewood-29) launched a set of limited-edition bikes for Pride Month titled the 'Pride Artist Series.' This series includes two bikes, one classic sting-ray manual bike and one standard electric bike (e-bike). Each bike features a limited-edition collaboration between Schwinn and prominent artists from the LGBT community. The classic sting-ray is the 'Sting-Ray Krate x Rae Senarighi.' Rae Senarighi is a non-binary cancer survivor with a long history of activism through expressive art projects. This collaborative bicycle is no different, as Senarighi designed the bike with a beautiful blue background with pink floral patterns. The frame of the bike reads "trans is beautiful" on one side and "trans powered" on the other. The e-bike is the 'Coston DX x Lisa Congdon.' Lisa Congdon is a renowned artist and author. She has written more than 10 books and produced art for high-profile clients including Fortune 500 businesses. The e-bike has a white background with colorful patterns and designs inspired by the LGBT community. Both bikes are available as part of an auction to support the [Venture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/greenworks-venture) Out [Project](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/project-bmx). The bids begin at $500, however, the bikes can be bought out instantly for a price of $20,000 USD.
