My Bike Blog Day 1

My Bike

As part my research into cycling for the Oakley brief I decided to cycle more and document my observations. It was a nice sunny day, but it was windy, I made the following observations; ▪ The strong wind can push you about a bit, your clothes can make a difference ▪ You often don’t hear Traffic till it’s passed you ▪ I went to the shops and bought a few things carrying them my rucksack was not as tiring as when walking ▪ Despite the wind my rain-jacket shield me from the cold ▪ My legs felt the strain the most

Velo: Bicycle Culture and Design

A few thoughts on Velo: Bicycle Culture and Design 

VELO

Velo was a really well illustrated book on the culture and designs of the cycling movement. The book featured some great projects, some of my favorites included; Aeolian Ride an interesting design project supporting bike lovers in the city. Formpasch a product that beautifully combines a Bike Pump with a Light. Last but not least Uncommon Projects did interesting research into a data sharing on a bike. I would definitely recommend the book to anyone how is interested in cycling its defiantly worth a look at.   Source: Velo: Bicycle Culture and Design  [Robert Klanten (Author, Editor), S.

SPEAKING SUN
Our concept is a reinterpretation of the barometer, making it more accessible for visually impaired people, who would be interested in a similar interaction with a device to be able to tell what the weather may be like: emphasis on the word may! The device instead of giving you exact weather predictions, is more based on the ancient rhyme “red sky at night, shepherds delight, red sky in the morning, shepherds warning.”. Similar to seeing this out of a window, the chosen interaction would be much like opening blinds in order to inspect the morning or evening sky.
