Tricycles seem to be having a resurgence recently and these silly tricycles are the latest in a long list of three-wheeled cycle innovations. Created by Sergio Garcia, these tricycle sculptures ditch functionality for form.
Once upon a time, it was normal for big kids to want to get rid of their extra wheels and ride a normal bike. These days tricycles abound much more than they used to and are coming in all different shapes and sizes. This installation sees tricycles bend and curve in ways that make it incredibly hard to consider riding them.
The tricycles are shaped like infinity signs, tied into knots and there's even a two-headed trike. This silly trike exhibit lets you remember what being a kid was like, regardless of how old you are.
