No, you're not drunk – that is a Corona bike

This competition is now closed

Corona and State Bicycle Co have teamed up to offer a singlespeed bike and a range of cycling kit modelled on the beer brand’s iconic logo and design.

The State Bicycle Co Klunker is said to be a “jack of all trades, perfect for cruising the neighbourhood, store runs, dog walks” and pairs perfectly with Corona’s “easy-going attitude, smooth flavour and distinctive branding”.

The State Bicycle Co and Corona capsule collection is available to buy now in the USA. International availability and pricing are to be confirmed.

The State Bicycle Co & Corona Klunker is, in the brand’s words, a “retro-inspired, mash-up of a beach cruiser, mountain bike and BMX bike”.

The singlespeed bike rolls on chunky 2.4in-wide CST Patrol mountain bike tyres, with braking taken care of by a single coaster brake. Coaster brakes are activated by pedalling or kicking backwards, and are a perfect spec choice if throwing down mildly out-of-control fat skids is your primary goal when riding.

BMX-style bars give a comfortable upright position for around-town cruising. The bike is finished with a custom Corona-branded faux leather saddle.

According to the brand, the Klunker is one of State’s best-selling bikes, sitting alongside its Undefeated road bike and extensive range of fixed-gear bikes.

Beer bottles don’t fit particularly well into bottle cages (we’ve tried), so how else can you transport your favourite post-ride pale lager?

State Bicycle Co comes to the rescue with this handy 1.7-litre bar bag.

The burrito-style bar bag is finished with Corona logos and attached via three Velcro loops. An additional zippered side pocket could be perfect for storing slices of lime.

State Bicycle Co and Corona have also teamed up to produce a line of Corona-branded kit.

The kit is manufactured using Repreve – a 100 per cent recycled polyester fabric that, according to the brand, is made from recycled water bottles.

Gravel bike and mountain bike-loving Corona drinkers will be well served by the State Bicycle Co Tech-T jersey.

Featuring a T-shirt-like cut, the baggy mountain bike jersey features ventilated side panels and a zippered rear pocket.

For performance-minded riders, a traditional performance-cut cycling jersey and matching bib shorts are also available as part of the collection.

With a near encyclopaedic knowledge of cycling tech, ranging from the most esoteric retro niche to the most cutting-edge modern kit, Jack takes pride in his ability to seek out stories that would otherwise go unreported. He is also particularly fond of tan-wall tyres, dynamo lights, cup and cone bearings, and skids. Jack has been writing about and testing bikes for more than five years now, has a background working in bike shops for years before that, and is regularly found riding a mix of weird and wonderful machines. Jack can also often be seen zooming about with his partner aboard their beloved tandem, Cecil.
