It was only a matter of time before Dolce & Gabbana came out with their own designer ride, since every other designer brand worth its salt already launched one or two in the last few years. It’s also especially apt, given how this year is also the year of the Olympics, which does ties it all in nicely.

Known as the Dolce & Gabbana Animalier Bike, the most obvious thing about the bicycle is the fact that it is swathed in leopard print, which is the Italian house’s signature. Made specially for the ladies, the bike is beautifully finished and gilded in 24k gold.

Available only at selected Dolce & Gabbana boutiques worldwide, you’ll find it in cities like London, Milan and Paris. Closer to home, you’ll be able to try it out (and possibly buy it if it catches your fancy) in Beijing, Hong Kong and Tokyo.
