Wooden bikes may be beautiful , but they ’re also atad visionary . Nevertheless , there may be unexpected note value in wooden bike frames , which architect can use to realize important structural challenges and prototype raw designs .
That , at least , is the rationale behind motorcycle manufacturer AERO ’s in vogue prototype . ArchitectsMartino Hutz , Atanas Zhelev and Mariya Korolovabuilt this wood - framed bike not so that they could tantalize it , but to study how thin wooden sheets can be used to ramp up strong building . Zhelev tellsDeezenthat “ The bike is perfect to test how wooden structure bring in unlike scales with different loads . ”
The bicycle frame is composed of lamellas — millimeter - thick sheets of birch wood glued together into comic strip that splay out at the percentage point where the crank and peddle are fixed , as well as below the posterior . The natural fibers of each lamella were array to enhance the structure ’s overall lastingness . Zhelev and his team are finding that this layering method offer agility , improved flexibility and enhance lastingness over traditional wood - based construction material .
Also , verbalize about a damn beautiful bike . [ Deezen ]
