Perform some kick-ass tricks on your new Evangelion bike!

When I was in Japan, all the cool kids were practicing their extreme bicycle tricks at the train stations late at night -- as though it were 1997 all over again. So, now those cool kids can be even cooler with these official Neon Genesis Evangelion bicycles.

Designed by character designer Sadamoto Yoshiyuki, Media Magic will be releasing two bikes: EVA00BIKE type-r and type-a (Asuka and Rei, naturally). Of course, Shinji gets shafted, even though everyone rides him like the town bicycle already. Be sure to save up your money, by the way, since these bikes are going to set you back 98,280 yen (over $1000).

To be honest, if I lived in a major metropolitan area and had to bike around all the time, I'd pick myself up one of the bikes. It's "new fashion" enough to look cool, and as long as I could get replacement tires in those same colors, I'd be set. Don't you agree?

Check out more shots of the bike down in the gallery, and see for yourself just how awesome it is.
