Winner has been announced for the Seoul Cycle Design Competition, which closed for entries back in July. I had considered throwing something together for this, but had found about it too late in the game.

I'm almost glad I didn't, as I think I would have been very disappointed. I have to say that I'm unimpressed with their selection for the grand prize - touted as "Bike 2.0" which in my opinion is very unimaginative and too reliant on 'vapor ware' components.
There were a couple of other entries where the designers put a lot of thought into practicality and integrating realistic technologies that - in my opinion - would have been much better choices for the grand prize winner.
Even though there's a lot left out of this design - engineering wise - I particularly liked the looks and overall concept of this monocoque reverse trike design.
