Making the bicycle a thing of beauty | Creative Bloq

As part of an ongoing fundraising project between the Elton John AIDS foundation and W Hotels, six leading creatives were recently invited to transform the distinctive blue 'Boris bike' [hundreds of which are stationed around London for free use by residents] into a functional work of art.

Arranged in tesselated forms, the sprung steel truly gives this bike an original look. We're not sure we'd feel safe riding it about town but it sure does look pretty!
