Chanel goes green on wheels

As the debate on global warming rages, Chanel launches its newest accessory: an ergonomically designed, eight-speed bicycle. The bike has been created as part of Chanel's spring/summer 2008 offering to celebrate the heritage of the house, which is steeped in Coco Chanel's love of sport. She would doubtlessly be proud to ride next season's hand-finished Chanel bike, which is accented with the house's signature quilted leather and double-C logo.

It is for sure a good and glamourous option to beat the C02 prints of the cars and buses.

The new bike will be available in Chanel boutiques from December, priced approximately £6,200.
