Geneva 2012: Bikes on show, Peugeot edition

Posted by cdnlive March 6th, 2012

It’s easy to forget that Peugeot was originally, and is still, a bicycle manufacturer. As a resident of the Netherlands, I’m quick to notice a clever and nicely designed two wheeler such as this one nestled in between the 208s on Peugeot’s stand.

Combining a laminated wood frame with a neatly designed aluminum rear fork and pedal assembly, this tiny-wheeled city bike avoids the clown-like stance of the commuter friendly bikes of Amsterdam, while also giving you a neat place to stash your briefcase. It also shows that Peugeot’s new design language can easily extend beyond the automotive world.

There are several more bikes that I’ve heard are hiding in the corners of the show, so I’ll be sure to hunt them down tomorrow and post them for contrast.

  1. Ok but Vision D is’t pretty. I hope that cocnpet will by something smaller than Octavia (of course after few changes). If this will be a new Octavia I don’t wanna even think about it. But forget about Vision D. The new logo is ugly, boring. The old one was one of the most beautiful logos in the whole world. .To Josef Kaban: Use your talent to make a new Skoda Rapid, I think you can. Take a few parts from the Scirroco on go on!PS. Sorry for mistakes, my english is’n perfect.
