Can’t Ride This: Bi-Cycle

Hmmm, I feel like designer Elad Barouch directly copied from Atomic Mass’ See Saw Bike when he came up with the design. Hmm, maybe that’s because Elad is the designer of the See Saw Bike. Now it’s all making sense.

It takes two riders and both steer in opposite directions. The catch, however, is that they face away from each other. Believe it not, the inspiration for Bi-Cycle came from couples counseling. Our hero designer explains:

So the idea for final shape of the Bi-Cycle really came since it was the ultimate way to explain my observation about the way to resolve disputes which is in short, at first we need to establish trust and learn to communicate, then we can start moving forward, once we are moving we can master our communication skills and than that is left is pure fun. This is the reason why when riding the Bi-Cycle, both riders have complete control on the steering and the pedaling, making their influence on the riding the same thus creating the need to communicate.

See? It’s all about trust. Now I trust that you’ll click the ads on the right to put money in my pocket.
