[Felipe Pantone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/defy-skyline-tourbillon-felipe-pantone) recently joins forces with London-based fashion label Romance and Specialized to create a [custom bicycle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rcyl-bike) to aid the [World Bicycle Relief Charity](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-walkers). The bike is adorned in captivating and colorful emblems that recall glitchy graphics encountered on the computer, with mismatching distorted visuals, and bright shapes throughout. The wheels are complete in a tonal black hue to allow the glitchy graphics to stand out.

Between the period of November 17th to November 27th, the bicycle will be auctioned off online at Romance's website. The proceeds gathered from the auction will go towards the World Bicycle Relief Charity -- this helps the organization provide bikes for African communities to provide transportation assistance for education and healthcare.
