Write a Bike

Juri Zaech, a Swiss Art Director living in Paris, is preparing prototypes for his bicycles with frames based off of user's names. They look great, but may not be completely practical. If you are furiously racing down a SF street on one of these without brakes, at least everyone will know your name!

Hopefully, this will not be a trend that translates to other products overseen by the FDA.
