Why Ride a motorbike Once you Can Ride a Horse (Bike) [Bikes]

Many people have tried to reinvent the bicycle , but I’ve always thought that what we currently have-two wheels, a common frame, and some handlebars-is mostly perfect. And then I saw the horsecycle.

The winner of the Seoul Cycle Design Competition 2010, ” Horsey,” is an easy kit that enables anyone to turn their roll into a gallop. 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 quite simple so that anybody can easily arrange it in line with one’s needs. through this ‘horsey’ project. I wished to provide a unique look to bicycles so that folks would care about cycling not only as transportation but in addition as a satisfying pet.

Lovely indeed!

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