‘merge’ is the result of a collaboration between two brooklyn-based companies, pensa and horse cycles. the urban utility bike was developed specifically for the 2014 oregon manifest bike design project, and features design elements such as recessed lighting, a front hub that generates electricity, a USB charging port and a retractable rear fender and bike rack that can be hidden when not in use. each utility piece has been seamlessly integrated into the frame, available when you need them, yet unobtrusive when not in use. influenced by the variety of cycling needs in new york city, ‘merge’ offers a sense of confidence when navigating tight spaces.
