pI’ll never understand why certain fairly major design events don’t post their own photo galleries to draw interest for their future events. So it goes with the A HREF=”http://www.ibdcaward.org/ehtml/history/index.aspx” International Bicycle Design Competition/A, which was A HREF=”http://focustaiwan.tw/ShowNews/WebNews_Detail.aspx?Type=aECOID=201003200015″ won by Taiwanese designer Hsi Huang/A for his Shopping Bike, above; it transforms from a bicycle into a shopping cart, providing an on-board storage bin. Even cooler, after Huang submitted his design, the IBDC surprised him by prototyping one in CNC’d aluminum!/p

pA HREF=”http://speedstudiodesign.com/blog/article/2010-international-bicycle-design-competition/” Speed Studio Design’s got a closer look at Huang’s design/A, which was crowned the winner at the A HREF=”http://www.taipeicycle.com.tw/” 2010 Taipei Cycle Show/A (even though the award is considered a “2009” prize). Also be sure to check out A HREF=”http://www.flickr.com/photos/28604259@N06/sets/72157623531004357/” their fantastic Flickr gallery/A showing the other finalists. /p
