Think that fancy new Mercedes-Benz in the garage with the urea-injected BlueTec diesel isn't green enough yet? Now the gang from Stuttgart is offering another option for you (assuming you still consider breathing to be green). The 2007 Mercedes Bike Collection features mainstream "Fitness" and "Trekking" models and an über-cycle Racing version with a carbon-fiber frame. All models get disk brakes, and the Trekking version also has an automatic halogen headlight powered by a dynamo mounted in the hub. The aluminum-framed Fitness and Trekking models come in three frame sizes and start at $1,300 and $1,700 respectively. The racing bike starts at $5,200. Presumably, they'll also offer a custom-fit rack to go on the back of your big diesel-powered GL320. The complete Mercedes press release is included after the jump.
