Like-A-Crotch-Rocket: The Glodos Bit

The Glodos Bit is a tip-resistant walking bike for toddlers designed by the Spanish duo Marc Castelló and Sergi Teixidó. It's made from molded ply, aluminum, and Big Wheel plastic.

It's an incredible combination of an Eames splint, a Like-A-Bike and a fat-tired, Sunset Strip-cruising Japanese chopper gang. And as a throwback bonus, it looks a little like the 1975 Samsonite Mini-Bike, minus the Gorilla handlebars. Could DT's 2007 catalogue scans--and the plea for someone to knock off the awesome, long-lost Mini-Bike--be an inspiration for our Catalonian heroes? Until I hear otherwise, I will say, "Thi, grathias."

The Glodos Bit is for sale, EUR95 + mystery shipping [glodos.com via minimalissimo thanks dt reader nelson]
