Lamborghini is releasing a bike. A bicycle.

There is a bicycle shortage across North America because of the coronavirus.

They are teaming with a bike company to create an $18,000 limited edition street bike. The bike costs $3,000 more than a new Mitsubishi Mirage. It has skinny tires, a small, plastic seat and handlebars that resemble those found on 10-speed bikes in the 1980s.

Cervélo has teamed up with Automobili Lamborghini on an ultra-limited edition R5, the high-performance road bike featuring the paint scheme from the Aventador SVJ’s famed Nürburgring lap record.
