Week 2 In Class Progress



In class we started to consider our various design options and one problem we thought to address was the relative strength that the cardboards could provide, in a typical bike because as the picture below shows, most of the weight isn't distributed evenly but on the back wheel.
                       
Working to solve this problem, we looked to YouTube, and did a lot more research. We particularly found inspiration in Gravity bike and Tuvie which were both bike designs that distributed the weight of the rider along a longer latitude.

Next, we began do deliberate on a design of our own bike and we penciled down a few sketches and took a few measurements to get a feel of what our bike would be like.

Taking measurements
We haven't thought of a name to call our finished products yet,but some funny ideas have come along.
