It’s really hard for us to associate a carbon fiber body, an optional roof and four wheels with an ordinary bike. But the FlooW Bike here is not ordinary at all, and all those three elements have ensured it an extraordinarily fantastic appearance and functionality. [Read the rest of this entry...]
Though simply removing the front wheel and mounting two wheels under the handlebars, design graduate Berk Asal has succeeded in having the three wheeler work in a totally different way. That is: Triblean’s wheels would tilt into corners for a quick conversion when running on the roads. As a result, riding a bike will be more exciting, right? [Read the rest of this entry...]
Although we’ve used to looking for petrol stations for our cars along the roadside, we seldom imagined that we can find an air station especially designed for bicycles one day. But we should have thought of such a perfect idea! Built inside the pavements, the station provides an air pump for the cyclists to easily refill their tires so that they can always enjoy a nice travel. [Read the rest of this entry...]

It is always good to preview what the bicycles would be like in the next few years, even though the designs may be quite surprising, just like the Dreamslide Bike created by French enthusiast Jean‐Marc Gobillard. Having no seat, Dreamslide features a single-speed drive train propelled by pedals that work independently and therefore constant power will be generated as the two pedals keep spinning. And to make a stroke, the riders simply need to move the back foot forward and lift slightly when moving the front foot back. So to sum up, if you don’t mind a standing ride, Dreamslide will surely be the best bike you can ever have. [Read the rest of this entry...]

For years turn signals have been protecting cars and car drivers, but now Lee Myung Su is making headway in creating a clever solution for cyclists’ safety. The SEIL (Safe Enjoy Interact Light) bag concept features an LED-equipped backpack that is controlled by a detachable wireless remote to let others on the road know when you’d like to make a turn or brakes, so as to reduce the possibility of crashes. Really a nice idea and I just wonder if the concept can also be used for pedestrians so that more and more people can be kept from the accidents. [Read the rest of this entry...]
It is true that the big-wheeled bicycle seems quite odd at the first sight, but you may find it a genius design if you spend a few more seconds. Compared with most folding bikes, the Full Circle uses big wheels to achieve easier navigation but features no chain to make folding the bike an easier task. [Read the rest of this entry...]
When there were no wires or chains, humans used to bind things together or hold something in position with ivy. But when the same ivy is used today, it is deemed as a decorative accessory rather than a tool. Designed by Sono Mocci for ‘Seoul Cycle Design Competition 2010′, the new lock for bikes comes with a green and fresh look, and it appears the same as real ivy you’ll find in the nature. Hopefully ducks and chicks wouldn’t mistake that as their meals… Just for kidding. [Read the rest of this entry...]
Bicycles play an important role in our daily life: they offer an eco way for transportation, our body benefits from exercises of pedaling, and according to designer Eungi Kim, the bikes can also become lovely pets. Having that in mind, Kim created “Horsey”, an attachable bicycle ornament, to make your bikes look horsey. So next time you’d like a riding on the horseback, you can simply start a travel with your bike. [Read the rest of this entry...]
