The bikes are some of the best in the world, and mirror Audi’s values. The bikes are all strong, lightweight, and built on a monocoque hardwood frame. They also ride smooth as a cloud due to the wood’s ability to absorb shock better than metal.The bikes have a high-end drivetrain made from aluminum and carbon fiber components, as well as disk brakes and LED lighting. They have three primary models available, each for a different purpose:duo CityA cafe/leisure bike, urban explorer and all-weather commuter; the most approachable bike for casual cyclists. Features include an upright position for short distances, comfort and traffic vigilance; READ MORE

Just an FYI, Audi's first steps came from Bicycles. It is a nice touch to see them getting back to their roots. Here is a few photos from the Ingolstadt museum when I visited during the summer.

Skis, cellphone and now back to bicycles?

Along the lines of what PwrDrifter said, why don't they start making motorbikes?
