  • My ride with Hindsight

    My ride with Hindsight

    I posted about Evan Solida’s Cerevellum concept in December of last year. If you didn’t see that post, check it out before you read on and take a look at the Cerevellum website to familiarize yourself with the concept. One of the distinctive components of the modular Cerevellum system is the Hindsight feature, which allows…

  • ON is on!

    Several other blogs including Treehugger, Wired, and Cyclelicious recently picked up on a Cannondale Community blog post which said: “Due to the overwhelming positive response from the cycling community and beyond, Cannondale has committed to bringing the ON concept bike into production in the near future.” Great! I am glad to hear it. I first…

  • Bent Ply bike sketches

    Bent Ply bike sketches

    A few weeks ago I posted a bike, sent to me by a reader, which featured a frame partially constructed from laminated wood. Peter from Velo Vision recently sent me an email and identified the mystery bike as the work of James Coleman, a design student at Loughborough University in the UK. When I first…

Since that time, the post has consistently been one of the most popular archived pages here on Bicycle Design. Over a year later, it still gets quite a few hits every week. A few of the hits stream…

  • thumbnail sketches

    Today I am posting a scanned page from my sketchbook. These are quick “thumbnail” sketches of mountain bikes. Since I sketched all of these just for fun, they don’t all look like they would necessarily work in the real world. Come to think of it, the furniture and lighting ideas that I sketch everyday as…

  • An intro of sorts

    An intro of sorts

    Okay, since this is my first post, I probably should start with some sort of an introduction. I am a product designer, but I do not work in the bicycle industry. I design home decor products, which is generally a fun job. That said, you might be wondering, why am I starting a blog about…
