Boutique Cycles is a relatively new blog on those most beautiful of man-made objects - bicycles. If you're interested in cycling, or just really pretty things, this blog, run outta Sydney by a couple of bike devotees, is the perfect place to go for inspiration or appreciation.

The site is a user-submitted gallery that shows off people's obsessions around the world. Each thumbnail has a profile with details on the mechanics of the bike as well as comments. Boutique Cycles has the immediate and obvious affect of lust but then, later subsides to inspiration. It makes me look at my own bike with love and disgust but overridingly potential.
