The Coop Toy Line is a classic wooden learning bike for children with a contemporary twist. Not only does the design of each bicycle look very modern aside from the choice of material used, those materials have been reclaimed and treated with all-natural dyes to ensure that they appeal to the eco-friendly sensibilities of today.
Created by Florida-based designer Federico Rios, The Coop Toy Line is comprised of three different bikes. One is a standard two-wheeler while the other two are trikes. What really sets this line apart is the promise that if people send the hardware back to the company and safely discard the biodegradable wood pieces once finished with the bike, they will receive a discount on other Coop Toys.
