I have an obligation to bring you the latest environmental technology—even when it’s really, really ugly. You are looking at a Bricycle, a tricycle made from marine plywood and epoxy, designed to be a lightweight “single occupant human powered vehicle with an electric assist.” Looking for a more “green” alternative to traditional vehicles, the creator insists the Bricycle has far less impact on the environment in terms of manufacture and operation—with the added health benefit if you choose to pedal.
Ok, so I don’t love the design, but here’s what I do love about the Bricycle. One man decided he wanted to make a difference. One man chose not to wait around for technology to catch up to our problems—instead, he created a solution. One man chronicled his entire process, from design to completion, and that is something really beautiful about the Bricycle.
