Hummer - the bling of mountain bikes?

By redlined on Sunday, February 26th, 2006 comments

Hummers are quite rare in the UK and usually associated with the bling crowd, so for those who feel guilty about their omissions and 5mpg trips, what about a matching mountain bike?

The bike, like the Hummer H2 takes it origins from the US military. The patented folding frame system was developed to allow paratroopers easy exit from aircraft with a full size mountain bike. Enlarged military pedals are also used to support oversize military footwear (also great for yanks where the average foot size is 14+ )

It's unlikely these will be seen along the Specialized, Orange and Marin's around the peak district - these will probably be used more by the celeb wanabees and the bling crowd who would purchase a hummer in the first place :)

Bauer Millet (situated at the start of Deansgate Manchester) sells the bike for £695 UK GBP.
