Why Ride a Bike When You Can Ride a Horse Bike

The winner of the Seoul Cycle Design Competition 2010, "Horsey,"

The designer, Eungi Kim, explains:

horsey' is an attachable bicycle ornament/accessory which makes one's bicycle look horsey! the 'horsey' package includes wooden ornaments (horsey shape body), metal parts, and screws. the manual is very simple so that anyone can easily arrange it according to one's needs. through this 'horsey' project. I wanted to give a special look to bicycles so that people would care about cycling not only as transportation but also as a lovely pet.

Lovely indeed!

I just hope my horse doesn't get bored being a single-speed. [designboom]

on a musical mystery tour to amaze amuse and annoy passers by.
Look out for handle bar oscillator and DIY amplification workshops from the mad
electronic professors of Dorkbot, vocal bike workshops from the Feral Choir, a
bowed bike wheel workshop by the Orchestra Cube, and lots of noisy bike
workshops for all ages at the Cube Cinema in the weeks leading to this day.
