bagbike

bagbike by Francois Bernard from france

designer's own words:

Our cities and awareness evolved and influenced our behaviors, but the urban bicycles didn't evolve the same way, so they no longer correspond exactly to our practice in town.
BagBike is a proposition for what could be a natural evolution of bicycling, improving uses through a simple design.

One of the cities short trip issues is that we need to carry something with us every time. We all need to keep something during our ride everyday, to go shopping, work or study.. But carrying a backpack make you sweat, leaving your computer on the luggage rack is dangerous, even a cellphone in the pocket is not comfortable when we are riding.

Bagbike solves transport issues. With only one simple solution, dividing the frame in two parts, and joining them to create a storage compartment in which we can put these essentials items.

While the storage compartment keeps our objects, it retrieves their weight, which lowers the center of gravity of the bicycle, and makes it more balanced.
