The Chanel bike: an expensive way to show the world you care

This bike looks pretty ordinary to me, but don't be fooled; it's the latest designer fashion accessory from Chanel.

The 'ergonomically designed' 8-speed bicycle, which incorporates the label's signature quilting and 'double-c' logo has been created as part of Chanel's spring/summer 2008 collection. It's sure to appeal to the ultra-chic 'green is the new black' set, who'll be trading in their Vogue Land Rovers for the brand new it-bikes next spring (here's hoping).

The Chanel bike hits the boutiques in time for Christmas, and will cost around £6,200.

Hmmm, a full carbon-fibre super-light full suspension race bike with the best parts money can buy - hydraulic disc brakes, titanium bars, super-slick gear shifts and plush suspension tailored to my exact measurements with the suspension tuned to my exact weight?

... or ...

A crummy steel shopper bike that has been 'ergonomically designed' with 8 gears?

Gee, it's a tough choice, who said fashion was over hyped pap where you stick a fancy label on and charge 100 times what it's actually worth?
