Earlier this week, CrossFit quietly uploaded "Seven Cycles and the CrossFit Bike" onto their YouTube page and added the CrossFit Bike to their online shop:



Since we both know you didn't watch that whole thing, here's the gist: CrossFit has partnered with Seven Cycles, a custom bike manufacturer, to create the CrossFit Bike which is designed to "do it all."

In the video, we see the process the bike takes from conception to delivery and follow Greg Glassman along as he tours Seven Cycle's manufacturing shop.

So what's the deal with the bike? Well, first off, it's $7,950. It's also not "custom" in the traditional sense that it's tailor made for each individual purchaser. It's "custom" in that it's not manufactured until it's ordered; the only customization available is picking whether you want a small, medium, large, or extra-large frame.

But this bike isn't what you think it is. It's not a money-making scheme. In fact, I'd be surprised if they sell very many of these at all. Back in 2012, the CrossFit Games included a triathlon style event called "Pendleton," which included a bike provided by CrossFit for the competitors:



Those bikes were single-speed Redline mountain bikes. The new CrossFit Bike is different (for example, it has more than one gear!) and is a signal that CrossFit Games athletes this year should expect to hit the trails in and around Madison, Wisconsin, on a bike.

Should you buy a CrossFit Bike? Probably not, as you could probably put that money to better use on almost literally anything else. Should you expect to see the CrossFit Bike at the Games? Yes.
