According to Guinness World Records, the most expensive bike sold at auction was a “Butterfly bike” that Armstrong rode in the final stage of the 2009 Tour de France. How much did this bike go for? A cool half a million dollars ($500,000 USD). Get this – the butterflies on the bike are REAL (dead)…
AAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAH “Tour de France champion Alberto Contador was pulled over by a French police officer on Wednesday for cycling in the descent of the Galibier pass in the Alps without lights.

That’s right. The quick release. You know you need a customized quick release. What bike is complete without it!? UberHund Designs let’s you put your logo on your quick release. I’d kind of prefer a different color option as well. It seems like their options are white text on black quick release. What about neon…
