    In case you’re wondering what that picture was all about it’s a Monty Python tribute but we’ll get to that later.

    The thing about riding your bicycle around town, beard blowing in the wind and your ethically farmed vegetables stacked in your wicker front basket, is that the sound of rusty gears clanging into action can sometimes remind one of the mechanical beast upon which you ride.

    Halt, no more of that, because a contraption called Trotify is about to hark back to a simpler time. Mashable with this:

    Once assembled, and fitted with a coconut and rubber band, simply attach Trotify to your front brake assembly, as you might a reflector. Then you’re ready to ride in pre-20th century style.

    Not only does Trotify alert passersby to your presence, it tells them that you have an affinity for old-world charms but don’t have the wherewithal to care for an 1,100-pound [500 kilogram]horse.

    Let’s be honest, how would a 500 kilogram horse fit into that satchel you’re rocking any way, it’s simply not practical.

    If you happen to be a Monty Python fan you might remember this from the Holy Grail film, just another example of these comic geniuses being ahead of their time.

    Lovely stuff, we can’t wait to see Trotify-laden bicycles wheeling past the Woodstock Exchange in the near future.
