I couldn’t even get the extra’s of my designs on there either and i was registered if you can call it that, but i didn’t want to hassle on emails again! Oh well eitherway i just hope they comeout with something good=and not something with 5 wheels, tomuch plastic, skinny weak racer wheels, internet tv or hairdryers on it!!! I don’t care if its designed by a studying student or NASA even cos to me that doesnt mean anything=you have to ride and fix bikes for years to know what really makes a good bike!! it just better be tuff enough to survive and be simple and easy to ride and to fix!!!!! GET IT RIGHT Pleeeease

Hi Delepine, Sorry to hear you had trouble. Did you register on the Wiki site first? Send me an email at james (at) bicycledesign (dot) net and I will try to get this resolved for you.

I tried well to post my project on the wiki bike blog, but I wonder if it works. I do not believe. Damage.

From what I’ve read, I think that the ABDC should adopt the design of the World Bicycle Relief program. Not only does WBR have an ruggedized and standardized design, they also have a system for assembling and maintaining the bikes using local labor and entrepreneurship.
