Horse Bicycle Thing Shortlisted For Seoul Cycle Design Competition 2010

It's Friday, and you need to look at this. Korean designer Eungi Kim assembled a horse-shaped bike frame for the Seoul Cycle Design Competiton and I can't tell if I hate it or not. It's horse-shaped, so I approve inherently, but it's just one rung below the penny farthing on the hipster scale.

It’s Friday, and you sort of need to look at this. Korean designer Eungi Kim assembled a horse-shaped bike frame for the Seoul Cycle Design Competiton and I can’t really tell if I hate it or not. It’s horse-shaped, so I approve intrinsically, but it’s just one rung below the penny farthing on the hipster scale.

The designer – Kim – seems sort of unironic about it, though?

“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.”

This is my Friday gift to you. Take it and be well.
