The current craze in bicycling is the form over function aesthetic of single-speed and fixie bikes, harking back to a simpler age and a simpler bicycle. With no gears and the simplest of brakes the design gets more room to stand out. If you want a single speed and want a dose of elegant chic to go with it, it’s hard to beat the Linus range of bikes – and especially the Roadster Classic. Inspired by classic French and Italian cinema this stunningly simple bike would work equally well in Shoreditch as in Manhattan.
