There Is A Wu-Tang Clan Bicycle And You Can Buy It
By Eric Silver
Shimmy shimmy ya shimmy yeah shimmy yea, gimme the bike so I can ride it away. That’s right, hip-hop and karate fans, there’s finally a way for you to be environmentally-friendly and bringing the motherf’in ruckus. State Bicycle Co. is releasing “a line of custom-outfitted fixed gear and single speed road bikes to commemorate the Wu’s 20th year of bringing the ruckus and shaping urban street culture.” We want to go to there. Bobby Digital, please help.
Despite some celebs’ efforts, it’s still pretty hard to show off your killer street while cruising to class on a Citi Bike. If you’re looking to take your daily commute to the next level, a Wu-Tang bike might be the ride for you.
The product description on the State Bicycle website sounds smarter than the RZA and Neil deGrasse Tyson. The bike “is tastefully branded with Wu-Tang imagery from bars to bracket. An engraved Wu-Tang branded stem holds a set of bullhorn handlebars atop a boldly painted chromoly TIG-welded frame, all of which feature the unmistakable markings of the Wu.” Basically, it has everything you’ll need, but you’ll probably going to have to carve your own RIP ODB into the seat.
The bike runs for a C.R.E.A.M.-worthy 599 dollars and gets delivered in November, but is there really a price for you to show the city your Wu-Tang style? You’re now as affiliated to the Killa Beez as Cappadonna , and you can finally lose that excess weight for when your friends just kept feeding you, and feeding you, and feeding you.
Let’s face it, unless you’re this guy, Citi Bikes are never going to be a good luck for you. So grab your driver’s license, come up with your proper Wu-Tang nickname, and get Enter the Wu-Tang: 36 Chambers in your earbuds. You’re on a bike and you ain’t nuthin’ ta f — — with.
