Tina's mention of her wish for a grown-up sized Like-a-Bike reminded me of this photo I snapped a couple of weeks ago in SoHo.
It's a regular bike, modded or skinned with plywood to look like a Like-A-Bike. Camper, the Spanish shoe boutique on Prince street made it, presumably as one-off promotional prop to promote their kid's shoe line, which was launched this year.
Camper makes those Pelotas shoes, which every one of my people at Razorfish seemed to have back in the day. Now their kids can have them, too.

Oh my! Need to get me one of these... but wait, where to store? :(

Sweet, but impracticable. Which makes me love them all the more.
