Up Yours, Recession: Here’s a $3,700 Titanium Trike

As luxury gifts go, this Dutch-designed $AU3,700 titanium tricycle at least has practicality in mind: Your tyke would have to wrap the thing around a tree after leaping a school bus just to put a dent in the thing.

Considering that the trike will probably go unused after a few weeks of mild play, you might want to aim a little lower this holiday season, especially if you're worried you'll be standing in a bread line by January. A Slinky, for instance, makes a fine gift.

If you've gotta have it all, though, more power to you: The trike is an exclusive offering from the owner of Loopfietsjeswinkel.nl, which I've given up trying to pronounce. [Via OhGizmo!]
