One drawback to cycling in most any city is the constant assault on the senses from smog. Exhaust fumes can be stifling and deleterious, hardly creating a hospitable environment for non-motorized traffic.<\/p>\n

But an award-winning bike concept from Lightfog Creative & Design Company could be\u00a0a breathe of fresh air for urban cyclists.<\/p>\n

The concept features a handlebar-mounted filter that would purify air and force it towards the rider. In addition, the bike’s frame could\u00a0actually power the whole mechanism by converting sunlight into energy.<\/p>\n

For the time being, the concept remains just that. But should it develop further, it’s easy to see how the design has the potential to revolutionize urban cycling.<\/p>\n
