Project Background This trails concept plan provides guidance and recommendations for developing a comprehensive trail network at the Powers Bluff County Park in Wood County, 2.5 miles southwest of Arpin, Wisconsin. This trail system will capitalize on the growing demand in the Midwest region for trails that are optimized for mountain biking. It will serve the needs of all recreation users by adding upon the existing Powers Bluff Trail network with new multi-use trails and the creation of bike- optimized trails for all ages and ability levels. Master Planning for Powers Bluff County Park (PB) has been ongoing since 2003, and was revitalized when Wood County acquired 223 acres of property directly north of the existing park. Since that time, planning has been done to include a multi-use shelter building, fishing pond, ice skating rink, northern entrance road with parking lots, improvements to the existing ski/tubing infrastructure, additional trail development, and support facilities.

  • Applying Strategic Design to Stand out in the Cargo Bike Market Development of a Cargo Bike for Non-Cargo Bike People
    APPLYING STRATEGIC DESIGN TO STAND OUT IN THE CARGO BIKE MARKET Development of a cargo bike for non-cargo bike people Anna Mikkelsen Moa Wernberg Master of Science Thesis TRITA-ITM-EX 2019:485 KTH Industrial Engineering and Management Machine Design SE-100 44 STOCKHOLM Master of Science Thesis TRITA-ITM-EX 2019:485 Applying strategic design to stand out in the cargo bike market Development of a cargo bike for non-cargo bike people Anna Mikkelsen Moa Wernberg Approved Examiner Supervisor 2019-06-28 Claes Tisell Teo Enlund Commissioner Contact person Rawbike Scandinavia AB Andreas Falck ABSTRACT This report presents a master’s degree project in Integrated Product Design at KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, on behalf of the company Rawbike. The purpose was to develop a design and construction proposal for a cargo bike from a strategic market perspective, that could broaden the audience of Rawbike to include more female users. The Rawhauler is a powerful cargo bike with attitude for those who need an agile, multifunctional and modular cargo solution. The Rawhauler makes it possible to carry heavy loads and climb the steepest of hills while having a pleasant biking experience in crowded commuter traffic. Literature studies and strategic tools were used to design a branding strategy where a small company like Rawbike can develop a strong brand to stand out in the crowd. User centred studies were conducted to ensure a product well adapted to the needs and wants of its users. The insights gained from these two fields were then used to develop a competitive concept that both extended the existing portfolio and appealed to the whole Rawbike community, regardless of gender.
