Not content with just making small cars, it seems Mini wants to make small bicycles, too. This quirky eight-speed bike may have an odd stature with a low frame and tiny tyres, but it does look cool, especially with its neon yellow, Teflon-coated chain. And as it folds up, it should fit in the back of the tiny hatchback, too. Visit shopminiusa.com. Dh2,000.
Porsche takes it up a gear with this slick Bike RS that has an emphasis on technology. It has an extremely lightweight carbon fibre frame, 20 Shimano XTR derailleur gears, hydraulic disc brakes and a comfortable gel seat. It's good to see Porsche has put as much into the design of this bike as it does its cars. Contact porsche-design.com for pricing.
