When I announced the design competition finalists and later the winner, I mentioned that I also planned to post some of the other entries. As I said, I thought many of them were very interesting and, in my opinion, deserve to be shared. I am not really going to be posting them in any particular…

The Dentistcruiser
In response to my recent post about Scandinavian bikes, Erik Nohlin, an industrial designer in Sweden, sent me this design.

Jack Dekker, the editor at Ligfiets, does know a lot about recumbent bikes and he recently shared a few interesting articles from his site with me. He pointed out a couple of interesting developments…
