Cycling in city This is not just watch her beautiful horse, or ride proudly watch is also observed that surrounds us. Especially if you did not nose into his handlebars in order to save time. See and observe its environment, and especially out details
sobering.

In this vein, and the risk of offending some readers of this blog velocipedic, let's talk about design "floats"!

One wonders if this is the same design office design, focus groups or the same, or similar software ... How is it that a design can literally be reproduced without this bother anyone? Well, Germans, Swedes, etc.. have a certain design approach is undeniable, particularly in the automotive field. They have a distinctive signature and somewhat common. Some offices, in fact, overlap is historical (Audi, Volkswagen, Porsche). Americans are often lagging behind the trends, react slowly and combine their models and brands excesses (GM-Chevrolet, Ford / Lincoln). The Japanese, for their part, have a certain fascination designs and Germans make good trade agreements with the Americans to the development of certain model. Globalization ...
And now the Chinese breed alike unscrupulous.

But to make copied / pasted ... Yes, consumers like to unconsciously recognize what they have already seen, be familiar ground to make it easier to judge. But some innovative designs have there not been the basis of popularity? Fiat 500, VW Beetle, Citroen 2CV and DS, Austin Mini, and other stylistic achievements of this world have not they made history and the collective imagination, or emotional? Then dare the deuce!

This is perhaps no coincidence that this movement takes many neoclassical growth. Running out of ideas, it draws from the past? Maybe. But also to remember how these designs were innovative and fair. It happens sometimes, especially if we got lost, that we must find good foundation for better start. Viva el
neoclassico!



In the world of cycling history, the models have obviously not been as much memory. It could still cited bikes saddle "banana" from our childhood or the indestructible and timeless Dutch bicycles, but we could not cite any specific model or any particular brand. Tell CCM or BMW ... Everyone will identify the latter without hesitation. Of course, neither marketing nor the media coverage of bike models can not compete with the automobile industry. Yet there are many more bikes than cars history. Perhaps, precisely, his overdrive made the bike more commonplace. One might even say, if we wanted more normal. in 2000 there were 104 million bikes manufactured against 40 million cars. And the gap is widening every year.

must admit that a body offers more stylistic possibilities of a bicycle frame. We must also admit that the technology development cycle progresses slowly, unlike the automobile continues to innovate and to publicize his discoveries. The car contains many more items subject to technological improvements.

Yes, but the simplest things are not they usually more durable?
