TIMBER BICYCLE
The concept of a wooden bicycle (2015)
Thin layers of oak veneer make up the three-piece wooden frame of the TIMBER bicycle. The frame makes the most of the resilient properties of wood and has been designed to absorb vibration and lend the vehicle a spring effect on uneven urban roads. By comparably high stiffness and a great absorption capacity as well as the given environmental performance of wood, the material represents an interesting material for this design concept. The simple alumininium components in black emphasize the exclusive wooden core of the bicycle. Alternating matt and gloss aluminium elements, such as the front fork are seamlessly attached to the wooden frame. Both saddle and handlebars are covered in leather.
