Product Design in Bike Commuting
Hello commuter enthusiasts!
I'm currently a student at UW-Stout majoring in industrial design and I'm looking to design a product that involves bike commuting. I enjoy commuting myself, but I'm looking for assistance and input from you about what in the bike-commuter world can be redesigned?
I've been thinking about designing a helmet that has modular capabilities for cooler/warmer climates (yeah I'm from WI), or a helmet with a lockable feature along with maybe some sort of testing of materials to improve comfort, weight and durability for commuters (otherwise I think a universal light mount on a helmet would be beneficial as well)... other ideas involve redesigning a bag to carry your items more efficiently when you commute along with maybe a redesigned bike rack... not sure though... any of your input would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
