VIA Commuter Bicycle allows a Safe Ride from Accidents

admin Friday, October 15, 2010

Offering a safe and sustainable ride in urban environments, British designer James Bourne has come up with a bicycle concept that features a big frame and front wheel made primarily from reinforced recyclable polypropylene.

Hailed as the “VIA,” the urban commuter bicycle gets strength from a strong inner space-frame-like structure, while an outer shell ensures a quality finish to the frame. Employing aluminum to strengthen the thinner components, such as back wheel, seat-post and handle bars, the bike uses plastic to eliminate the rusting of mechanism.


Powering the front, rear and pedal lights with a dynamo built in to the rear wheel, the bicycle also includes a sensor (above the rear light) to turn the light on mechanically. Sliding the seat post along with the frame, which brings the saddle closer to the ground and the handlebars, to accommodate different riders with ease, the commuter bike automatically changes gears to ensure a comfortable ride. Concealing the front hydraulic brake cables within the frame and fork and the rear brake inside the rollers, the VIA bike also presents a number of accessories, including luggage holders, baby seats and trailer attachments, to enhance your riding experience.
