Uncovered at — yes, you guessed it, Milan's Salone Internazionale del Mobile — the Ciclotte exercise bike is a rare thing: a fitness tool that is actually beautiful. Made of carbon and, according to designer Luca Schieppati, a mixture of both the ergonomic and the functional, it's probably got more of a chance of going into production than its road-going cousin, Ciclo, which you can see alongside the Ciclotte below. I could see it in my home, with those antennae-esque handlebars perfect for hanging my damp clothes out to dry on.
