They are all too small for to ride... so it would be a doomed romance from the begining.

I think those are aEuropean thing, I don't recall seeing any back in the late '80s. I was taking some time away from watching kitten videos to look for it and came across this neat little item.

I think that answers the question as to why so few are to be found - bianchiboyy has cornered the market.
Great collection - thanks for showing us.
