The presence of bicycles on our city streets continues to grow by leaps and bounds. Naturally, stylish options for the savvy cyclist are also growing exponentially. Today we were wowed by the latest luxe offering for pedal-powered transport, the Velo Bike by Pharrell Williams for French designers Domeau & Pérès. Originally offered in bright yellow, the hand-stitched water-buffalo-leather-coated single-speed is now available through Colette in blue and white. Even better, the shop is offering bespoke models in 26 colors. Guaranteeing exclusivity, Domeau & Pérès will create only one bike in any given color after a customer orders—an "edition of one," says Colette—and then never offer that color again. Along with a free pair of gloves in matching leather, the $24,249 cycle comes with the complete assurance that you'll never run across another one like it in your bike lane.

Le Velo Bike, by Pharrell Williams for Domeau & Pérès, $24,249 by special order only at www.colette.fr.
