Pashley vintage-style Picador tricycle

Tricycle

Think the tricycle was something purely for early childhood? Not according to Pashley, which offers three tricycles, including the Picador tricycle.

This vintage-style three-wheeler is geared very much for adults, the kind of adults who see cycling as a pleasant, eco-style pastime rather than extreme exercise obviously. You'll struggle to keep up with the pack at your local cycling club with one of these.

For your money, you get a tubular steel frame, 20-inch wheels with alloy rims, non-slip pedals, all-weather brakes, 'comfort' elastomer-strung saddle, a rear wire basket and an optional front wicker basket. Three colour options, prices start at £675.

Lexon Safe retro-styled eco radio by Elium Studio

Safe

Eco-friendly radios don't usually come with retro looks – unless you pick up the Lexon Safe eco radio by Elium Studio.

Made of maize bio-plastic and bamboo, this AM/FM radio has the looks of a vintage piece of audio, but has some very modern functionality – with wind-up operation, recharging via the mains or by old-fashioned mains power. You can also hook up your MP3 player if you want to use it as a speaker.

Available online, the Lexon Safe sells for £55.
