A variety of concern is that people are unwilling to walk ½ a mile to a bicycle designs and set-ups for utility are used to help carry transit station or stop.2 The inclination then tends to be to personal belongings, groceries, children and much more. drive to a transit station. For bicyclists, their concern is that One particular utility bicycle is the folding bicycle. Its design trains and buses are not always capable of providing enough allows users to easily transport the bike using less space capacity to accommodate full sized bicycles simultaneously. when the bike is “folded” in to a compact size.

Implementation Plan (“the Plan”) as an initiative to encourage the use of folding bikes with transit, and promote them as a transportation demand management solution. The goal of the Plan is to identify implementation strategies to jumpstart incentive programs for the distribution of folding bicycles through public and private means. The Plan is a conceptual-level document developed through working group collaboration. It evaluates various folding bike model types and identifies favorable attributes with respect to performance, design, function, and how they work with transit. Market analysis commenced through primary and secondary research. Public outreach surveys were collected at five 1 Shoup, Donald. The High Cost of Free Parking. American Planning Association.

The analysis is intended to help Metro and other cities and/or transit agencies strategize and identify potential scenarios to launch and target folding bike programs. Key Findings • Public survey results indicate that offering a cash buy- down on the purchase price of a folding bicycle is likely to be the most effective incentive for end users. The amount a transit rider would pay for a folding bike is largely independent of the amount of money he or she makes per year (refer to Section II, A and Section V, B). Figure 2: Traveling via Amtrak with folding bikes Photo Credit: Dave Sotero • Portability is the most important attribute of a folding bike when used in conjunction with transit. It is equally important that bikes are available for purchase from local vendors to ensure a high level of service and support (refer to Section III). • Residential density, the level and quality of nearby public transit, and the level of bicycle friendliness are effective indicators for determining levels of bicycle usage in a given community (refer to Section IV, A). • The majority of surveyed transit riders are generally aware of folding bicycles but do not fully recognize their value given that few would pay more than $200 to purchase one. In order to effectively stimulate the folding bike market, early cash incentives should bring down the purchase price to users’ expectations (refer to Section V, B). 6 FOLDING BIKE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN This page left intentionally blank. 7 SECTION I: INTRODUCTION SECTION I: INTRODUCTION 8 FOLDING BIKE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN INTRODUCTION 3.

    English Summary Walter Ulreich / Wolfgang Wehap Die Geschichte der PUCH-Fahrräder ISBN 978-3-7059-0381-4 22,5 x 26,5 cm, 400 Seiten mit ca. 500 farbigen Abb., Hardcover mit Schutzumschlag, geb., Euro 48,– 1. Beginnings of Bicycle Manufacturing in Austria and Weishaupt Verlag • www.weishaupt.at Styria (1885 – 1889) High wheel bicycles first appeared in Austria-Hungary in 1880. Since they were originally imported from England, they were called “bicycles”. The word Fahrrad came later (though in Swiss German, Velo became the established term). Regular production of high wheel bicycles in Austria-Hungary began in Jan Kohout’s factory for agricultural machines in Smíchov, near Prague, in 1880, following English designs. Kohout’s sons Josef and Petr made a name for themselves and the bicycles as successful racers. Smaller makers before 1885, such as Valentin Wiegele in Korpitsch near Villach, only became known locally. In Vienna, Karl Greger’s Velociped-Fabrik started making high wheel bicycles in 1884 under the brand name ‘Austria’; the annual output seems to have reached 300–400 bicy- cles. In 1896, Greger was mentioned as “the oldest bicycle factory of Austria and one of the largest on the continent”, and as “ founder of the bicycle industry in Austria-Hunga- ry”. At about the same time as Greger, Carl Goldeband and the sewing-machine factory of H. Wagner also began making bicycles in Vienna. In the years from 1885 to 1889, there is good evidence that bicycles were also being made by Mathias Allmer, Josef Benesch und Josef Eigler in Graz, Johann Jax in Linz, Josef Fritsch in Eger (Cheb), Julius Mickerts und Otto Schäffler in Vienna, Nicolaus Heid in Stockerau, near Vienna and G.

  • CDIO Worldwide Challenge Meng Group Project
    CDIO Worldwide Challenge MEng Group Project Group J Gareth Deering Jorge Guadalupe Fernández Gemma McCallion Andrew McGregor Calum Middleton Sabrina Ralph Website URL – http://xn--y-2fa.no/sab/#future Abstract The 2015 CDIO (Conceive, Design, Implement, Operate) challenge called for the design and build of a folding bicycle that was to be shown and competed at the CDIO Regional Competition on 2nd May 2015. The bike had to be of a lightweight and innovative design that could be folded to a size that would allow city commuters to use it with ease. The first stage of the project was to research the existing market and find a gap that could be filled. It was found that there is a lack of electrically assisted folding bicycles with 20” wheels. Using this information, a number of different concepts were generated and using Pugh’s Total Design process, a final design was found. This design included the desirable electrical assistance as well as a unique ‘slide and fold’ system for folding that allowed for a small folded size. From here, Solidworks and ANSYS were used to bring the design to life and allowed a functioning prototype to be manufactured. Following testing to ensure ANSYS was accurate; this prototype will be taken to the CDIO Regional Competition. i Acknowledgements The group would like to acknowledge the following people for their help during the project. Professor Jim Boyle for his continuous help and support throughout the project. Mr Steven Black and Mr Andrew Irvine for his invaluable help during the building phase. Mr Jim Docherty for the help in ordering all of the components and materials needed to build the bike.
