Apple’s fast on the track of becoming the most valuable company on Earth, and as such, they’ve been expanding. As the number of their employees grow, however, so does Apple’s need for office space, which is why they just opened a new office for 1300 employees, and why they are going to be building a huge new spaceship campus that is bigger than the Pentagon.
But how will Apple employees get back and forth between all of these campuses for meetings and the like? Simple: meet the iBike, the only way to get between the mothership and 1 Infinite Loop endorsed by Steve Jobs.
Although the bike has not been designed by Jonny Ives, it looks like it could have been. It comes in aluminum and has only three speeds, just like most Macs: heavy, light and normal. There’s even a neat little satchel in back to stow away a MacBook or an iPad.
Pretty cute. Makes me wish Apple would branch out into bicycles as their next, AppleTV style “hobby.”

Google has neat-looking Google bikes for tooling around their campus. TiVo has bikes, but no custom paint job like Google or Apple. Other offices that are single building have had Razor scooters (dangerous in hallways in my opinion), but what I’d really like to see is an office with dozens of Segways for getting around.
I actually would like a bike like that as I am moving to a more bike friendly area soon. That looks just about perfect for my needs. Is there any word on who makes this?
and who makes this iBike? it looks like an article with hoax informations. no offense.
Ive. Jony Ive. C’mon, Mr. Brownley
