Upcycling and bikes

Upcycling, bikes and design – what’s not to like?

I saw this when popping in to Grand Designs Live to collect some stuff and it was probably my favourite thing there. Harry Dwyer is one of the designers in a TV series Kevin’s Supersize Salvage challenged to use every aspect of a decommissioned Airbus A320 aircraft to make something not only useable but also saleable. The project is now ongoing as the Aircraft Workshop. This cycle rickshaw was one of the new products; with pre-manufactured integral seatbelts and handy little foldout table this is the most comfortable passenger seating. You even have a high back with headrest to protect you from any jolting due to sudden braking.

 Tip to male riders though – remember to tilt the saddle down before getting on.
