The Biomega website has relaunched and now features some new bikes, including the ultra-fat tired Brooklyn BMX. I still want the Copenhagen, however. Shaft drive, 7-speed SRAM internal hub gearing, disc brakes, removeable pedals, very very beautiful. I test-rode an older model while in Toronto and it was excellent – the shaft drive is apparently 98% efficient and you never again have to worry about greasy trouser cuffs, chains rusting and falling off, and derailleurs getting jammed. I predict we’re going to see a whole lot more shaft-driven bicycles cropping up in the near future.
UK dealers are Selfridges and the Maharishi shop in Covent Garden. No idea as to the price yet, but the bike I rode in Toronto was $1700 CAN, which is about £700GBP. However, since bikes are generally cheaper in Canada (boo!) don’t be surprised if it comes to a bit more.
