bicycle design is hosting a design competition. a good one. one to design a better human powered commuting machine. so, be it a commuter bike, freakcumbant, or trike…it’s probably gonna have wheels and pedals, and is definitely gonna have a person on or in it. or under it. or next to it. my point is this is wide open. a great opportunity to share some good ideas, ask some good questions, and possibly find some opportunities to make commuting better.

there are some legitimate judges, and if you’re not james–a legitimate prize.

strictly speaking, CAD isn’t required. do it.

read it in New York Magazine

i can’t think of any greater courtesy the city of New York could provide to a bike thief than shelter from the elements, a visual obstruction, and “one stop shopping” if you will. i can’t help but think someone could’ve done better.

i’m guessing you can thank Grimshaw’s newest intern for the weak-assed rendering and photo integration…
