Rumble Seat on Handle Bar for Cyclist’s Baby
When one proud father in Switzerland wants to take the baby for an airing, he fits a special rumble seat on the handle bar of his bicycle and away they go. The seat is equipped with a top to protect baby from sun or shower, but the top can be folded when desired.

You know, even when I used to ride on the handlebars of a bike, or ride somebody else on the handlebars, I knew it was a really stupid idea. Didn’t stop me from doing it, but I knew it was stupid. And I don’t think even my young and stupid self would have ever done this. Yikes-a-hootie, as Letterman would say.
I call these designs “Darwin-complete” and I am in support of more of this sort of thing.
Damn, now everybody knows where i took the idea for E.T.!!
