This one of a kind running shoe bike was unveiled recently at the Prudential RideLondon event. The world-class cycling festival was the best place to show off the eye-catching ride, which has several sets of running shoes in a wheel-like formation in place of traditional rubber bicycle tires.
Created by German tire manufacturer Continental, the bike tires are made out of six shoes each, or 12 for one bicycle. The red running shoes clash significantly with the bright orange bike frame, which only draws more attention to the two wheeler. Although it probably does not go very fast, the unusually designed shoe bike is sure to be the center of attention wherever it will go.
