Erdi Özgürlük Signature : iv ABSTRACT DEVELOPING AN EXTERNAL BIKE RACK DESIGN FOR INNER-CITY PUBLIC BUSSES THROUGH AN ACTION RESEARCH PROCESS Özgürlük, Mehmet Erdi M.Sc., Department of Industrial Design Supervisor: Prof. Dr. Gülay Hasdoğan February 2016, 190 pages Bicycles have a great potential of mobility and flexibility to be used for transportation besides their recreational and sports activity based purposes. However, they have certain deficiencies through which they need to be supported by other means of transportation in order to enlarge the cycling catchment area. Promoting cycling somehow returns with many benefits such as reducing negative environmental impacts of transportation vehicles with carbon emission, improving health of users together with economic and social benefits. In respect to this, integration of bicycles with public transportation would bring mutual benefits for each mode of transportation. For this reason, an action research study is conducted to develop a transit bike rack system consisting of a two-stage fieldwork held with different stakeholders associated directly with the proposed system. Basing on the findings of the fieldwork, design alternatives for a transit bike rack system are created and analyzed considering the design criteria set throughout the study. Further suggestions are made to improve the system. Keywords: Cycling, bicycle, transit bike racks for buses, cyclist, public transportation. v ÖZ EYLEM ARAŞTIRMASI YÖNTEMİ İLE ŞEHİR İÇİ OTOBÜSLERİN DIŞ KISMINA KONUMLANDIRILACAK BİSİKLET TAŞIMA APARATI TASARIMININ GELİŞTİRİLMESİ Özgürlük, Mehmet Erdi Yüksek Lisans, Endüstri Ürünleri Tasarımı Bölümü Tez Yöneticisi: Prof. Dr. Gülay Hasdoğan Şubat 2016, 190 sayfa Bisiklet sportif etkinlikler ve eğlence amaçlı kullanımının yanı sıra ulaşım için de esnek ve mobil karakteriyle büyük önem taşıyan bir ulaşım aracıdır. Öte yandan ulaşım kapsamının artırılması için diğer ulaşım türleri tarafından desteklenmesini gerektiren bazı eksikliklere sahiptir. Bisiklet kullanımını teşvik etmenin karbon emisyonlu ulaşım araçlarının çevreye olumsuz etkisini azaltma, sağlıklı yaşam, ekonomik ve sosyal faydalar gibi birçok değerli getirisi vardır. Bu nedenle bisikletlerin toplu taşıma ile entegre edilmesi her iki ulaşım türü için de karşılıklı yararlar sağlar. Bu doğrultuda, eylem araştırması yöntemi kullanılarak otobüsler için bir bisiklet taşıma aparatı geliştirilmiştir. Eylem araştırması kapsamında sistem ile doğrudan ilişkili olan tarafların dahil edildiği iki aşamalı bir alan çalışması yürütülmüştür. Alan çalışmalarının bulguları ve çalışma sırasında belirlenen tasarım ölçütleri dikkate alınarak bisiklet taşıma sistemi alternatifleri oluşturulmuş. Bu alternatifler analiz edilerek bir bisiklet taşıma aparatı önerisi ileride geliştirilmek üzere sunulmuştur. Anahtar Kelimeler: Bisiklet kullanmak, bisiklet, otobüs bisiklet askı sistemi, bisikletli, toplu taşıma. vi ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First of all, I would like to thank my supervisor Gülay Hasdoğan, for being more than just a mentor, a friend who influenced me with her experiences and supported me all the time throughout the process. Her inspiring advises and care always kept me motivated during the process of this thesis. Secondly, I would like to thank the members of the thesis committee; Assist. Prof. Dr. Fatma Korkut, Assist. Prof. Dr. Naz A.G.Z. Börekçi, Assist. Prof. Dr. Aydın Öztoprak and Assist. Prof. Dr. Aykut Coşkun for their comments and feedbacks. A special thanks to my colleagues Anıl Ercan and Alper Karadoğaner for their contribution in design process. I would also like to express my gratitude for the fellow researchers Mert Kulaksız, Anıl Ilgaz, and especially İsmail Yavuz Paksoy as he became my seatmate while also having his thesis process. I would also like to thank all the participants involved in the questionnaires, interviews and focus groups for allocating their valuable time for participating to the study. Before the last, I would deeply thank to my academic peer Sezgi Kaya for her great contributions in every step of this process. She always supported me and was ready for help anytime I needed. Finally, I would like to express my most profound thanks to my family; my dear mother Nurten Özgürlük, my dear father Şahin Özgürlük, my dear sister Ezgi Özgürlük and my friends from hometown, Elmadağ, as being nameless heroes for me not only during the process but also during my whole life. vii TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT ................................................................................................................ v ÖZ ............................................................................................................................... vi ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ..................................................................................... vii TABLE OF CONTENTS ........................................................................................ viii LIST OF FIGURES ................................................................................................. xv LIST OF TABLES .................................................................................................. xxi CHAPTERS ................................................................................................................ 1 1.

  • Deluxe Tagalong™ Bicycle Basket Care & Use Guide
    140519 Deluxe Tagalong™ Bicycle Basket Care & Use Guide Thank you for purchasing the Solvit Deluxe Tagalong™ Bicycle Basket. The carton should contain: the main basket section; two side panels; one padded bottom panel, one sewn-in safety leash, one shoulder strap, one removable sunshade and a mounting bracket assembly. Assembly of the basket: The front and back interior hard panels are pre-installed in the basket. Install the side panels and bottom panel as follows: 1) Lift the four padded flaps to make it easier to insert the side panels into the basket. 2) Insert one side panel with one edge fitted snugly in the corner of the basket, with the hook tape strip at the top of the panel and facing to the inside (figure A). 3) Push the panel so it fits flat along the side of the basket and is snug in both corners. Repeat with the other side panel. When both side panels are inserted correctly, the basket should resemble figure B. The side panels are designed to fit tightly – be sure to push firmly into the corners and against the sides of the basket. 4) Insert the padded bottom panel, pad side up, into the bottom of the basket. The small “pull tab” on the edge of the panel should face the front. Again, this is intended to be a tight fit when in the correct position. Hold the safety leash when inserting the bottom panel so that it will be accessible after the bottom panel is inserted. When the bottom and side panels are firmly pushed in place, the basket should resemble figure C.

Because cycling is healthy and gives you a daily dose of happiness and exercise. It all started 40 years ago, when Ine van Dam walked into the bicycle shop of Nico van Balveren. She was looking for a wicker basket for her bicycle. Nico developed such a basket and made Ine very happy. And the most important thing was: because of that basket she enjoyed her bike rides even more. Not a whole lot has changed in our family business since that time. Our passion is devising products that make bicycling more attractive and enjoyable. And we always take your wishes into account. We want to understand why and when you ride your bicycle.
