Recently being made a convert to the world of cycling, then being tragically robbed of my clunky $50 Target bike was a tough experience. I've been on the lookout recently for a replacement model, but I'm thinking that this time I'd like to invest in something with a little more panache. The quirky new Velocino model from Abici bikes might just be the ticket.
This miniaturized (and reversed) copy of the classic penny-farthing bicycle was first dreamed up by Mussolini. Touchy association, I know. But hey, the VW Bug was the brainchild of Hitler, so we have to keep an open mind about these things. The Velocino seems like the perfect bike for someone like me, who really only needs to travel fairly short distances on mostly flat roads. Plus, with such a tiny model, I could keep it inside, removing the risk of any theft-related heartbreak that might occur.
