A Two-Wheeled Porsche

I was at my Porsche service department yesterday dropping off my car for an end-to-end inspection before its warranty expires.  They pointed out a Starbucks coffee machine in the lounge in their showroom, in case I was inclined.  I was, and wandered over to the lounge, which is actually a mini Porsche Design store.  In case you haven't heard of this you can see what I mean here.  Porsche Design does have some beautiful items and it kind of reminds me of the Tom Ford shop on New York's Upper East Side, but with other items besides clothing.  So I got my coffee and turned around, and in front of me is a Porsche bicycle:

Yes, a Porsche bicycle.  I had no idea.  It caught my eye and it turns out Porsche makes a small number of bikes, both for off road and for more urban environments.  Like most other things made by or licensed by Porsche, they're pricey, starting around $3600.00 in the US.  Then again Yeti bikes start at about that range too.  No doubt Porsche bikes are high performance if you're into cycling.  For now I'm content with my Specialized guy's mountain bike and spend more time in my 911 than on my bike anyway.  The car checked out ok today too.
