Polkupyörämallinen refers to a design or object that resembles or functions like a bicycle. This term, which is Finnish, literally translates to "bicycle-shaped" or "bicycle-like." It can be used to describe a wide range of items, from toys and decorative objects to functional devices that incorporate elements of bicycle mechanics.

For example, a child's toy might be described as polkupyörämallinen if it is a miniature replica of a bicycle.
