Trek Madone Butterfly

Consider a bicycle that gives you wings! That is exactly what you get with the Trek Butterfly Madone. Taking its name literally, this brand-new Trek model provoked outrage among animal rights organizations like PETA because of its use of butterfly wings in its design.

Damien Hirst, the inventor, mounted genuine butterfly wings on the bicycle's structural frame and rim. Aside from its eccentric look, the Trek Butterfly Madone bicycle has several renowned riders, like Lance Armstrong, who utilized it in the 2009 Tour de France event. The bicycle is very appealing, with pink and purple motifs. The bike is valued at $500,000, with all proceeds going to a Sotheby's cancer benefit program.
