   BMW introduces new pedal power machines

Following on the heels of Mercedes-Benz launching an updated bicycle line,
rival BMW has done the same thing. Bimmer's pedal power lineup isn't
quite as extensive in terms of styles as the one from Stuttgart, with
the new models consisting of a pair of adult-size cruising bikes
targeted at day trippers, along with a little machine for youngsters. 

The
cruiser features a hydroformed aluminum frame. Hydroforming is a
technique commonly used for shaping tubular structures like truck and
car frames. A metal tube is placed inside a mold and then filled with
pressurized oil until it conforms to the mold. The result is a strong,
yet lightweight structure. The 27-speed Cruiser is designed for
comfortable long distance riding and it starts at �849 ($1,200 USD).

BMW's
so-called Kidsbike is designed to help tikes go from developing basic
coordination on two wheels to full fledged riding. As shipped, the bike
has no chain or pedals installed for the youngest kids. However,
included in the box are a chain and pedal set that are easily installed
for when the child is ready.
