During a recent trip to Barcelona, we were pleased to see lots of little bikes, including this one at the new Design Museum - Museu del Disseny de Barcelona - where design in every day objects is highlighted and celebrated.

It's been a while since we uploaded some little bike action. So here you go. I must confess my head's been swayed by my early 70s Nord France racer, but I'll always have a soft spot for these vintage compact bikes.
Little Bike Look Out - what's that? Woody loves little vintage bikes, in fact she rides a cream Raleigh Compact from 1986 (and most recently a standard size 1970s cherry red Nord France racer). But fear not, when she spots... SEE MORE

Pink cherry blossom, yellow daffodils and orange bright little bikes! The promise of summer time sunlight and cycle rides along the sea front...
Your little bike? So lucky! Feel free to tweet this post.

A Raleigh Roma, probably from the late seventies or early eighties. We think the black handlebar may be not be original, but it's a good visual fit with the bike. Snapped in the Brighton lanes, near one of the best ice cream parlours Gelato Gusto.

'Tis the season to be social. Even this Solitaire bike has found a little companion (spotted earlier in the year). Happy Christmas and a Happy New 2015 to you all.

We wonder what edible delights have been transported in this rather decadent hamper, now cleverly used as a bicycle bumper basket.

Flowers, dotty stickers and BMX tyres. This little bike is rocking an electic style in the heart of Brighton North Laines.

A perfect example of 'pimping your ride' with a colourful basket and cool stickers. Spotted in our home time of Brighton.

Wow, that blue really pops! We would definitely be whistling while wandering around on this little bicycle. Fantastic type too. That fluid font and bright blue fits in nicely with cycling around Brighton & Hove.

Compared to many of the vintage compact bicycles out there, this is positively futuristic. Let's not fear the future, let's trust in it - it's got a sticker of assurance after all. Perhaps a superhero has adopted this bike, small enough to hide under a cape, and spacey enough to match any pants over lycro combo.
