Steel yourself for puncture-proof bicycle tyres

The industrial designer, artist and architect, Ron Arad has re-interpreted the bicycle wheel in his medium of choice, steel.

The wheels are made from ribbons of stainless steel that have been looped and stapled together in an elegant flower petal design.

The bike is on show at W Hotel in Leicester Square, until 29th of October when it will be put up for auction on behalf of the Elton John AIDS Foundation.

We have it on good authority that the bike is rideable, but no one is prepared to guarantee its grip on wet roads.
