Replace short car trips with active travel
Before grabbing your car keys the next time you head out, why not consider taking a short ride or walk instead?
Prototyping update #1 - it works (mostly)!
Our mechanism prototype has been assembled, and it (mostly) works as planned!
Choosing a bike light
Bike lights are critical for staying visible at night. Here are a few things we look out for when choosing ours.
TRIG receives a Red Dot Award
We are delighted to have been awarded a Red Dot Award for the TRIG folding bicycle.
Cycle commuting is easier than you think
Considering cycle commuting but worried that you can’t manage? Here are a few reasons why you should just go for it.
Prototyping with 3D printing and investment casting
A combination of modern and ancient manufacturing techniques allows us to prototype parts quickly and cost-effectively - this means more tests, design improvements, and a better quality end product!
What are you doing for our next generation?
While we can't profess to have made any difference yet, we have set our goals to make cities more enjoyable, healthier and cleaner by providing the tools to allow people to change the way they move around.
How about you? What are you doing for our next generation?

Why we should choose to be active
City life is busy, and squeezing in time for exercise can be difficult. Luckily, to reap the benefits of being active does not require training for an Ironman. One easy way to start is by turning your commute active!
In search of an enjoyable commute
This is how it all started.
As city dwellers, we want our entire experience - including our daily commute - to be enjoyable. Not being able to find the solution that we wanted, we decided to build one for ourselves.
