Hasta La Ideas

The Y-stand may not have impressed judges enough to win last year’s New York CityRacks Design Competition but 50 units are currently in production in the UK for Woking, local authority in Surrey. The bike racks will be installed throughout the town as part of National Bike Week.

Designers Andrew Lang and Harry Dobbs recently launched the Y-stand at Insite 09, at the Building Research Establishment where it was a point of focus for best practice in sustainability and the built environment.

Check out the original prototype here.
