The Future of Bikes: Bikes as Object

“When I see an adult on a bicycle, I do not despair for the future of the human race,” wrote science-fiction writer H.G. Wells. Tonight, learn about alternative approaches to bicycle making, from Johnny Coast of Coast Cycles, Bamboo Bike Studio, Peter Reich of Swift Folding Bikes and Steve Baumann, industrial design director of Trek Bicycles, all of whom use alternative materials and hand-building techniques to make bikes available on a mass scale. Dave Perry, author of Bike Cult and owner of New York City shop Bike Works, moderates.
