LEGO Icons Road Bike brings Tour de France timing to your display shelf

LEGO's timing feels spot-on with this one. The new Icons Road Bike (10355) launches on 1st June for £174.99, just weeks before the Tour de France kicks off. It's a 1,671-piece display model that captures the look of a proper racing bike, complete with working gears and spinning wheels. The set builds a full-size road bike measuring 23cm high and 55cm long. You get functioning gear shifters, a chain that actually moves, and detailed components like brake cables and water bottle. The colour scheme goes for classic racing red with black and white accents - nothing too flashy, which works for a display piece.

At roughly 10p per piece, the pricing sits where you'd expect for an Icons set. The build looks satisfying enough for adults, though the finished model will need a decent chunk of shelf space. Kids might find it a bit static compared to something they can actually play with. This feels aimed squarely at cycling enthusiasts who want something LEGO-related for the office or den. Whether it has the same broad appeal as the Icons Orchid (10311) or Bonsai Tree (10281) remains to be seen - those work as general home décor, whilst this screams "cyclist lives here".
