ROM CONCEPT TO REALITY: URBAN CYCLING IS REINVENTED WITH THE ON CONCEPT BIKE
Posted on February 18, 2008 4:47:20 PM


It's official. Due to the overwhelming positive response from the cycling community and beyond, Cannondale has committed to bringing the ON concept bike into production in the near future.
Eurobike, cycling's largest and arguably most important trade and public show is held each year in a little German town called Fredrichshafen. And this year, on Aug 29 – Sept 2, Cannondale unveiled one of its greatest innovations to date when the ON concept bike was presented to the world.
Needless to say, everyone was seriously impressed... not just by the bike's incredible good looks but by the fact that this prototype is actually ridable.
Magazines, both cycling and non cycling publications couldn't get enough. In fact, the ON Concept was probably the most photographed bike at the show this year. In addition to a press conference with SRAM, several magazines requested exclusive photo shoots and test rides with the biggest question always the same: WHEN can I get my hands on one?

The answer to that question? ..."Stay tuned". says Torgny Fjeldskaar, Director of Industrial Design for Cannondale worldwide.. "Urban transport as we know it is about to change forever. In fact, we are currently working on bringing products with similar technology to the market so it's an exciting time for cyclists everywhere. This is technology you're going to want to own."
