Friendly reminder that aluminum and steel bikes can pretty much be fullty recycled easily and tons of times. Most plastics can only be recycled a couple of times. Than and plastics hate uv and public bikes are left in the sun a lot.

[jaP]

I mean this bike seems to be painted -> uv deterioration isn't an issue. Steel and aluminum on the other hand can corrode.
The recycling argument indeed is a bit difficult.

Wonder how much this huge bike weights 😮

IGUS is a big name in the field and I love the idea, but a bike that's going to degrade isn't great. Aluminum and steel bikes are already recyclable. Carbon is not, but other than forged carbon there's not much that can be done with it.

Where’s the road bike ?
Where is the fixed gear version?
I want to see it

[swites]

Can't wait to see that in the tdf

[mine]

the question is how long it will last?

[nemure]

So the first plastic bike to admit is actually made of it?
I'm looking at you carbon fiber 😉 😉

[JohnRadford-iydb]

They did a plastic bicycle years ago looked horrible nobody bought them

[Dangling_Carrot]

So in reality it sheds plastic all over no thanks

[kevingregoire]

Whats the enemy of fishing nets… UV and Corrosive deterioration.
Nothing new under the sun, or under the sea, in a plastic bike.

Good try Patrick said Sponge Bob
