Barry Bonds bike Specialized McLaren Tarmac

Behold the new home-run king of bicycles: the S-Works McLaren Tarmac, which former baseball star Barry Bonds bought this week for 20 grand.

The bike was inspired by Formula One leader McLaren and made in collaboration with Tour de France-proven bike company Specialized of Morgan Hill, California. Only 250 of these carbon-fiber rockets were made.
