Chanel's limited edition bicycle, which sold for £6,000

Cycle commuting in London has increased by 91 per cent since 2000, and with that comes a natural evolution of style. Last year’s limited edition Chanel bike may have been a ridiculous £6,000, and certainly ill-suited to London’s cycle theft record, but Gucci soon followed with a limited Beijing-themed red model, embossed leather panniers included, which sold in China and Hong Kong for $3,400. Ludicrous, certainly, but also a sign of how fashion is starting to take cycling seriously. (Just ask Vivienne Westwood, a long-time devotee of pedal power.)

But sales of “sit-up-and-beg” bikes were on the up long before Agyness took to her Electra Amsterdam.
