This is amazing! A reader writes:
I passed this bike just south of Thomas Circle and thought it had an interesting paint job that looked quite a bit like snakeskin. Curious to see how the pattern was done I took a closer look.
Woah.
ACTUAL snakeskin. Painstakingly sewn around all the components of the bike.
This one is a classic.
I think it’s kind of creepy, but then again I don’t care for snakes, and it’s not my bike.
That’s awesome. No idea though if this gets your bike more or less likely stolen.
How does it fare in the rain?? I guess snakes can go in the rain … but so can cows and suede… so I’m just confused.
