Rock Star Folding Bike At Auction

by Larry Lagarde

If you're a fan of the Talking Heads and folding bikes, this may interest you. Former Talking Heads frontman/songwriter David Bryne is auctioning his well traveled Montague CX full size folding mountain bike.

According to a story that appeared on Road.cc, David has used this bike for years to sightsee while on the road touring with his band. David estimates it's been around the world four times. Major cities where David has ridden the Montague CX include Berlin, Buenos Aires, Istanbul, London, Manila, New York, San Francisco, and Rome.

If you want to bid on David's folding bike, the auction is taking place on eBay. Currently, the high bid stands at @ $1700 and bidding ends on August 16th. Proceeds from the sale are being donated to the London Cycling Campaign, an effort to make London "a world-class cycling city."

Final bid on David's bike was @ $2260. Not bad for a well used bike that sells new for $529.
