With cycling more popular than ever, and London Mayor Boris Johnson set to make London «the most attractive city to cycle in for everybody» with a £913m investment, you can’t help your mind conjuring up images of a total bike city in your head.

Brazilian designer duo Bruno Ferrari and Rodrigo Paranhos have gone one step further than just thinking about it, and recreated a bicycle tyre as the mini rubberised urbanscape of Bike City.

A tremendous amount of detail has been included in the model, from the buildings (complete with windows) to a variety of trees and landscaping, through to individual road markings.

The design remains just a concept at the moment, but the traffic-free roads dotted with mini cyclists (all wearing helmets, if the debate needed any more fuelling!) do look appealing, and perhaps hint at the future of cities worldwide.
