'Green' Areaware Moof Bike Saves Money and the Environment

by Chad Mumm on February 26, 2009 at 12:47 PM

With the whole world going green, we're seeing less Hummers and more hybrids than ever before--but did you know that there's zero-emissions way to get around using nothing but the power of your legs? Be the envy of your hipster friends with the stylish "Moof" bicycle from industrial design aggregators Areaware, which we recently caught on video. The top tube of this European-style ride has recessed solar-powered front and tail lights. With vintage-inspired bikes fetching prices in the thousands, the Moof might be a steal at $500. Use it to hit the streets for some Stroopwafels and find your way home at night after a couple glasses of Genever. That's Dutch, yah!
