LONDON, 14 June, 2021 (TON): As the U.S. President Joe Biden met the British PM Boris Johnson for the first in-person meeting; the President gifted a custom-made, hand-built bicycle to the PM.
The two are regular cyclists, as Johnson is often pictured cycling on the streets of London and Biden was also revealed to be a fan of indoor cycling.
The bike gifted by Biden was made by Bilenky Cycle Works, a business with a staff of four who usually take up to 18 months to make a machine.
Bilenky was quoted saying, "It is a very modern version of an upright British roadster with a custom paint scheme with the Union Jack flag and a matching helmet."
It says the budget was just USD 1,500, a third of the minimum price the firm charges.
