1, 2, 3

This is no ordinary bike.
These are handmade with copper wires by a man who lives in a village outside of Wuhan, China.
He feeds his family by doing construction work and makes these amazing miniature bicycles during his free time. Occasionally, he sells them on the streets to make a few bucks. My mother discovered him one day and bought a few items for me. How I treasure those! The biggest one is about the size of my palm and I have very small hands. I wish I had pictures of the man. May be I will hunt him down next time I go back to China.
