Mechanical Bicycle Model Automaton

A build-it-yourself wooden automaton of a cyclist. assemble the mechanical bicycle model and watch its moving parts do their thing.

This is a wooden build-it-yourself automaton from ugears that ends up as a tiny mechanical cyclist. you put the pieces together and get a bicycle model with gears, levers, and moving parts that actually animate. it’s oddly calming to build, and then oddly distracting to watch—great for a rainy afternoon or for the person who treats every problem like a quick ride will fix it. sits on a desk, starts conversations, and feels more like a hand-made hobby than a toy.
