So far, people have been treated to Pee Wee Herman-inspired cycling suits, as well as Batman and tuxedo cycling suit replicas—but the Muscle Skin Suit takes things to a gruesome new level.

The designer says the creation is, “a natural continuation of our passion for cycling and graphic design” on his site. This Muscle Skin Suit is the ultimate present for cycling enthusiasts to make sure they stand out on the road.
