Hope’s Aeris bicycle begs to get run over

Okay, so maybe Hope’s forthcoming Aeris isn’t that bad, but it is somewhat hard to believe that sensors were installed in the handlebars to “prevent accidents” if some demented designer didn’t fully expect this thing to be a vehicle magnet. Designed for the urban ~~tools~~ hipsters in attendance, this bike is reportedly constructed from Hybrix, a material “supposedly as tough as stainless

steel but lighter than aluminum.” Beyond that, details are few and far between, but cyclists should be able to find out more when it launches this fall for around five large.
