The deadline to submit entries for the  ISUDA Bike Share Design Competition passed while I was traveling home from Asia over the weekend.  We didn’t receive as many entries as the last design competition staged here at Bicycle Design, but it is still going to take a while to discuss them with the jury and post the finalists here. It should be a couple of weeks before voting begins, so stay tuned. Thanks to those of you who submitted entries. On behalf of the other jury members, I can say that we are really am looking forward to your comments about the concepts once they are posted.

Not long ago, I posted a few interesting concept bike sketches by Russian designer, Ilya Vostrikov. Lately, he has added a few new sketches like the angular Cinelli Laser Pista concept above, and the much less agressive tweed run bike below. I like Ilya’s sketching style, so I enjoy seeing his quick “blue sky” concepts.  Check out his blog for more sketches and renderings of these two bikes, and many others.
