If Batman had a bicycle, it would probably look like this

But a sleek black bike fit for Batman could change that.

The design firm MINIMAL has produced the BLACKLINE bicycle, a bike modeled after Chicago's iconic elevated, or "L," train and crafted to offer all the safety and utility one would want from a city bike/crime-fighting vehicle.

BLACKLINE, which recently won top honors at the Industrial Designers Society of America's annual design awards, was originally constructed as part of The Bike Design Project, which brought together designers and manufacturers in Chicago, New York, Portland, San Francisco, and Seattle to compete in crafting the ideal utility bike.

BLACKLINE isn't your typical dusty six-speed. It's a bike built specifically for navigating a less-than-friendly cityscape, and keeping you safe while you do it.
