Parents who go around thinking their kids are ‘worth their weight in gold’ get to hold them to an even higher titanium standard now.
For the uber-rich kid who has everything money can afford, the titanium bike is worth the temptation. It’s nearly indestructible, making it perfect for use with kids who are less than gentle with their toys. The frame is made entirely of pure titanium which makes it only half as dense as steel and as corrosion-resistant as platinum.
The luxury make includes carbon seat, white leather saddle and white rims with tires for $2,500. The tricycle is being offered by the owner of Loopfietsjeswinkel.nl which is apparently the leading supplier of training bikes in the Netherlands, and you can safely assume it’s probably a one-off design.
The Scandinavian design firm Aurumania has created 10 bikes made out of solid 24-karat gold.
Each piece of every bike was created by hand and the whole thing decorated with 600 Swarovsky crystals.
The bikes all come with a leather seats and horns and they each cost around 80,000 dollars. Why that expensive ? Unlike other “gold” bikes these are solid gold, not plated.

An online contest organized by ETA, a UK-based insurance company, is offering a custom-made 24K gold-plated Charge Plug bicycle complete with customized seat, handlebars and chain as a prize to mark the Green Transport Week.
To enter the contest, You must be eighteen years old, live in the UK, and get a free quote online for cycle insurance in order to enter the contest. The contest will end on October 21st and a random draw will determine the winner.
This amazing bike is worth £9,500 ($18,750) and comes with a security guard!
