Abstract
A bicycle with simulated motorcycle parts includes a shroud attachable to the bicycle. The shroud has a center portion simulating a gas tank and a rear fender portion extending over the rear wheel. The shroud is configured to fit around the seat tube of the bicycle and preferably covers the top tube of the bicycle. In one embodiment, a fairing mounted in front of the handlebars simulates a fairing on a motorcycle. In another embodiment, chrome plated plastic parts are used to simulate a motorcycle engine and a sound system is included that replicates the sound of a motorcycle.
