From the gold plated cars to bikes and cycles we have introduced to you so far, the 24-carat-gold-plated Brompton S2L folding bike seems to be a magnet for the unusual. This gold covered beauty was given away as a prize by the Environmental Transport Association, a UK-based breakdown service and hasn’t been used for daily rides except the shows it was put on display.
