Guixot de 8
The Bicycle Scribble
Guixot de 8 is the first Catalan company, and probably in the world, to turn the game into a street show. It does so with games invented by the company, built with materials recycled from the clean points. Guixot de 8 was born in 1991, when recovery and recycling was just a utopia, which only made sense in the northern countries where people were thought to be cleaner and more educated. The Games, once on the street, turn into a playful space for people of all ages and conditions.
We have decided to dedicate this collection of games to the wonderful invention that is the bicycle. From a regular exercise bike, we make a crane to go fishing. An old bicycle is turned into a unique bird, whose egg we must catch with a pair of pliers before it hits the floor. From a few old wheels we make a labyrinth, and with a few more we have a merry-go-round. We practically play with all pieces of the bicycle: the wheels, the handlebar, the frame, the pedals, the seat, the chain and the brakes. We play with a whole bike and with a cut out bike. All games in this collection have something to do with the bicycle in one way or another.
