The Humble Velocipede

The Humble Velocipede is a fun and playful desktop toy that moves quickly over countertops and coffee tables. Its design was inspired by Theo Jansen's Strandbeest creatures, combining 3D printing with custom hardware to bring the beauty of Jansen's walking mechanism into your hands.
