where to park your bicycle?
with these cute bicycle stands you no longer have to ask the question,
Japanese industrial designer Yuma Kano has created a steel
bicycle stand that’s shaped like a bicycle, at 362mm wide and 219mm high
(roughly 14 x 8.5 inches) the bicycle-shaped stand can be drilled into the
ground creating an adorable, easy-to identify parking area,
Kano’s inspiration for the project stems from the chaotic
and often ugly way that bicycles get parked in Japan, which renders serene
environments into heaps of spokes and metal. “It is designed to solve the
problem of randomly parked and bunched up bicycles on streets, sidewalks, and
parking lots,” said Kano, because “this bicycle-shaped bicycle stand also
functions as a sign that anyone can read.”
the On Bicycle Stand was awarded Japan’s prestigious
Good Design Award, is available on Kano’s website for 17,820 yen (at today's rate £121.80 or $158.10), it’s available in bolted style that can be secured to the ground or a plate
style, which simply rests on the ground and can be moved around, and no I am not on commission, I just thought the stands looked neat.
