Ciclotte Stationary Bike - The Carbon Fiber Penny Farthing Trainer

ciclotte-carbon-fiber-penny-farthing-stationary-bicycle

The Ciclotte, a stationary exercise bike by Luca Schieppati inspired by his Ciclo concept bike that’s currently in permanent residence at the Milan Design Museum, actually makes art out of spin class.

Most stationary bikes aren’t something you’d gladly display in the open, which is why infomercials have long tried to sell us folding versions that slid ever so easily (ha!) under the bed. The Ciclotte, however, is made of steel and carbon- and glass fiber and as far as exercise equipment goes, is gorgeous. The internals ain’t bad, either. It uses an epicycloid transmission system, which is fancy talk for a set of eccentric gears that spin a magnetized main wheel to create resistance.

Yours for just $10,700.
