Cooper Bikes launched last year and have enjoyed great success. With new models being launched, this success is bound to continue.
In November, Cooper Bikes will launch The Cooper T250, now it’s time for the ladies to look good on a bike!
The Mini Cooper is part of our history. There can be no one who doesn’t appreciate the classic styling and perfect simplicity of this little car. Aesthetically great, It also performed rather well!
Mini Cooper Bicycles are also doing fine things. The Cooper T250 Aintree, Named after the race track on which the famous Cooper Car previously rose to victory, is in that same league.
The Cooper T250 Aintree combines a classic 60’s influence fused in its design whilst the Brooks swift saddle and leather bar tape ensures maximum comfort whilst maintaining its vintage appearance, boasting innovative British engineering combined with classic British style credentials.
In Powder blue, The T250 Aintree combines style and beauty with the convenience of 5 gears. Modern and lightweight materials mean the bike is extraordinarily light.
The added bonus of Cooper Bikes working exclusively with accessory designer Ally Capellino, who’s stylish bags and accessories coincide effortlessly with the Cooper brand as practical yet timeless pieces, just makes this the perfect luxury bike.
Mike Cooper said “With this new line we wanted to introduce a wider range of people to Cooper Bikes. The T250 Aintree in particular will help integrate us into the female market combining sport performance with style and finesse”.
These iconic British branded hand-built road bikes are available from http://www.cooperbikes.com and from selected dealers worldwide, possibly the best bikes for women.
Simple. Elegant. Beautiful.
I say, the penny farthing has come a long way!
Joking aside, Have you ever seen a more beautiful piece of gym equipment? The Ciclotte is, naturally, Italian designed. Luca Schieppati, one of Milan’s leading designers has created a rare thing – An exercise bike that looks sensational. I’m going to enjoy this exercise bike review.
Ciclotte breaks the mould of exercise design, - which has always related to the functional aspects - in order to target advanced users, dynamic fitness enthusiasts and those that appreciate the art of design; to exercise in style. The best exercise bike ever is being launched at the end of September.
Made with high quality materials including carbon, steel and glass fibres, alongside a unique technology system, Ciclotte represents a new solution for the luxury fitness world; gym-standard training on a machine light enough (121lb) to be moved around the house or office, and stylish enough to put on display!
From a technical point of view, Ciclotte has been designed to reproduce the dynamics and performance of road cycling and is ideal for high intensity aerobic workouts such as spinning. It is also the first exercise bike to use an epicycloid system. This works by generating a concentrated magnetic field using a copper ring which is rotated at a high speed in front of five magnets, – which can be moved back or forwards via the touch screen display to control the strength - producing a high performance effective cycling resistance system. This has to be one of the best exercise equipment available.
The magnetic resistance really does represent a truer version of real cycling. On the techie side, the touch screen enables a simplicity that means the user is instantly aware of how to work this piece of modern art.
An exercise bike! Modern Art?
You can’t disagree though, can you? This is a most splendid addition to any home gym. However, it looks so good, you will probably keep it in the lounge!
This stunning bike has an RRP of £6,800 – available in Carbon, Silver and Purple - and will be launched in the UK at the 100% Design Show from 23-26 September 2010 at Earls Court, London.

How many of us have an exercise bike somewhere, gathering dust, probably never made it over 50 miles despite the best of intentions?
Forget that Bike, this is something on a completely different level! The Trixter Xdream is a marvel of modern technology, engineering and (just what exercise really needs) Fun.
The only Exercise Bike in the world to use patented laterally moving X-Bar handlebars to accurately simulate the action of cycling outdoors. The extra movement that this demands will help burn off up to 55% more calories than a normal exercise bike. More importantly, this extra movement takes exercise bikes to another dimension. It’s not pedal, pedal, sweat, pedal. More Pedal, steer, pedal, steer, sweat buckets.
The fact you are in total command of your bike paired up with the latest computer programming gives you a Virtual, yet true, sensation of mountain biking. You can choose from over 400 different tracks and race with your on screen competitors.
Watch yourself, on the screen above the handlebars, trek through arid desert or densely forested highlands. Engaging Exercise, this is the way forward.
The Xdream is one of the most technologically advanced indoor bikes available to consumers and is the first fitness product to successfully integrate accurate real-life simulation, total body cardiovascular conditioning and a motivational personalised training programme.
The Trixter Xdream retails at £5,999 and is available from http://www.trixter.net. The Xdream bikes are now also available to use in Virgin Active and David LLoyd gyms nationwide.
The UCI, the world governing body of cycling, has stated that in producing the Xdream, The manufacturers Trixter have created a new indoor sport. High praise, most deserved.
Welcome to the future! Born in the nation of bicycles and Tulips, Holland, this is the hottest gadget on the market for parents.
This is the Taga, classed as a ‘multifunctional urban vehicle’ and has been designed to suit the demands of modern parenthood and green lifestyle.
It retails for around £1,700 so not for all, but for those who can afford one, be prepared to stop traffic in this.
