This is a regressive suggestion: admittedly I always had a fondness for Curious George and his bike.
Has it ever occurred to TE to have a few fun bike toys in their inventory?

After all, some of us have children/nieces/nephews/other young 'uns who we have to infect the cycling bug. Or maybe the young-at-heart might sneak off with a Curious George memento.

We love Curious George. I purchased a Curious George on a trike wind-up toy for DD a couple of years ago. She loved it.

A little bio about the author of Curious George and it involves bikes in his life:
Hans Augusto Rey was born in Hamburg, Germany in 1898. As a child, he spent much of his free time in that city's famous Hagenbeck Zoo drawing animals. After serving in the army during World War I, he studied philology and natural science at the University of Hamburg. He then married Margret Rey and they moved to Montmartre for four years. The manuscript for the first Curious George books was one of the few items the Reys carried with them on their bicycles when they escaped from Paris in 1940. Eventually, they made their way to the United States, and Curious George was published in 1941.

Primal Wear did the Curious George women's, men's and kid's jerseys two years ago. There might still be some lurking on the web somewhere...

Barenaked Ladies was asked to write a song for the Curious George movie, but it wasn't used. They put it on their kid's album, Snacktime, instead. Good song.
