We're big fans of bicycle-themed goods, so when we saw this creative pen and sculpture combo, we had to take a closer look. Do you know a cyclist who would love to take this design for a spin?

I think this is a lovely gift! Great for a grad, a dad, a bike lover, or the lover of pens and quirky office additions.

love the bike pen stand but dont like the pen. this style of pen is usually uncomfortable to write with due to it being thin and slick.

Cute idea but the proportions are awkward.

Most of your products have a more clear link between the shapes. The large pen with small bicycle is a little off.

pen doesn't look comfortable to hold, the proportion is way off

Unlike others,I think it's great that the bike is so small as it takes up little desk space. However, it would be more versatile if it could be a holder for most any pen.

It's not very creative.

I'd knock it all over my desk!

Speaking as a senior, I think pen sets are pretty "old school."

I like the bike -- but I don't like the pen. I would never write with a pen like that. Would be so much better if it was a pen stand without the pen, that way you could put whatever pen you wanted to with it.

I think the pen could be more interesting.

I like the design, but it is not clear if the pen is included. If so, the comfort factor and ability to get refills would be considerations, and if not, the ability to use it with a variety of pens would be critical.

Looks like it would fall over easily.

this is cute for bike lovers but the bike should be a little bigger; both from an aesthetic perspective and from a functional perspective.

While I know there will be fans of riding who will love this, all I can see is me knocking this over on my desk and spilling things.

Very cute - for myself and all of my cycling friends, but I would be a bit curious how much something like this is going to go for pricewise. I would have my limits.

Cute concept but looks really awkward...why not make the bike bigger and have the pen be the crossbar...it could slide in and out...then I'm in :)

the bike needs to be bigger..the pen over shadows...could of incorporated it better.

I can easily see the little bicycle breaking off and the whole piece looks out of balance. How on Earth does it stand up.
