Smile Audi Getting Into the Bicycle Business

Who would have thought Audi would be getting into the business of making bicycles? Recently, they teamed up with the only all-hardwood bike manufacturer in the world – Renovo Hardwood Bicycles – to make a line of six bikes with the Audi brand.It makes sense, really though. 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?
