In Africa, children make galimotos out of anything from sticks to cornstalks. Galimotos can be vehicles of any sort. This bicycling girl is made from cloth-wrapped wire. Watch the rider's legs "pedal" as the wheels move. Created by artisans of the Chuma Wires workshop based in the Dandora area of Nairobi, Kenya.
