The Cake bikes are very pretty.  My spouse really likes them.

Red Dot awards are pretty much meaningless. Not only are the works self submitted (so not nominated) they're awarded either because they're just aesthetically pleasing or because they seem like a neat idea at a glance but with some actual thought they're obviously flawed. Shit, the fact that they give out awards for concept designs of products that don't even exist (and often wouldn't even work) should say a lot.

It's actually quite amusing to look through all of the winners: https://www.red-dot.org/search/

Simple functional ( very Swedish) , and I would own one ( ripe for modding). But way too expensive for me. Ohlins suspension...ummmmmmmmmmm!
