Designing a Bike by Committee for the People of Bordeaux

Last November, the City of Bordeaux in France asked citizens to make suggestions on what they would like to see included in the design of a new town bike. More than 300 citizens shared their ideas, which designer Philippe Starck has now used as the inspiration for what has been provisionally called the City PIBAL Streamer – an interesting concept where riders can either sit and pedal like on a traditional bike, or stand on the platform and use it like a scooter.
