McLaren's racing bicycle: pictures

Generally on TwoWheels we don’t deal with bicycles, but this McLaren racing bike is something a bit different.
Unlike the road bike produced by off-road specialist Range Rover for its new ‘lifestyle’ SUV, the Evoque, we can’t see anyone clipping this onto the back of their McLaren MP4-12C supercar.

Still, it looks fast, and that’s what we like about it.
The McLaren bike was built jointly by Specialized and the British supercar company which brought its lightweight materials to the party.
The frame weighs only about 1kg which is about 10-15 percent lighter than other carbon-fibre bikes.

The bike (known as the S-Specialized McLaren Venge) debuted at the Milan to Sanremo bicycle race where it came in 52nd place ridden by Mark Cavendish.
