Prototype African vending bicycle ready

4 students of the Delft Technical University are designing a bicycle for African street vendors. In November 2009 they have researched the needs and demands of the bicycle users in Kisumu Kenya. A co-creation team is established of (mobile) street vendors, neighbourhood association, market vendors, VBBS, metalworkers, bicycle mechanics, representative of disabled people, etc, who are a sounding board for the students in the design process. The previous month the students have designed a protoype at the Technical University in Delft. The following weeks they will return to Kisumu to have the bicycle tested by the co-creation team and to fine tune it. The bicycle will be produced in the Cycling Blue workshop in Kisumu, for which the official opening is planned at 13/14 February. Click on the video for an update of this design project.
