Bicycle design for a theme park
Nothing compares the simple pleasure of a bicycle ride, be it to the market or along the countryside belt. Same applies for a visit to a theme park with your family. The project started of with a question of ‘How to design a bicycle for a theme park to impart the same emotion and mood a theme park conveys? – How to bring in the best of both to the context?’. Initial focus went into understanding why we love bicycles and different concepts were tried upon – something that challenged the iconic look of bicycle for the mood it creates. All through these, care was taken in preserving the persona of a bike (things that make bike a bike) and giving it a new character. Final stage went on to making tangible iterations of the early sketches, everything from custom frame design, handlebar, color and material finish.
