Horned Handlebars

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Bi-King from Sungkug Kim is a 12-Point Bike

— June 4, 2010 — Art & Design
The Bi-King from Sungkug Kim is the horniest bike I have ever laid eyes upon. I'm sure we've all thought more than once that a bicycle's handlebars looked like a ram's or deer's horns. Well, Sungkug Kim thought it, and he did something about it.

Sungkug Kim did an excellent job of melding nature with machine here. The Bi-King is more of an art piece than an actual production bicycle. Still, the Bi-King is nice to look at and wonder what if.
