• For the urban rider: Bicycle-maker Cannondale collaborated with denim king G-Star to launch the Special Edition Raw, an 8-speed bike with tires that look like faux wood and a brown leather seat.
• For the luxury cruiser chick: Chanel released a limited-edition quilted bike for their Sport Collection last fall. It comes with a signature-quilted bike bag on the rear and a mega-comfy seat for easy riding. At $12,000 it's pricey, but it's Chanel, people.
• For Sporty Spice wannabes: Think your apartment can't fit a bike? Puma's limited edition bike collapses for easy storage. Plus, it glows in the dark and you can get matching clothes and handbags! Love. —Sharon Clott
