可持续发展 –出行零排放、环保又健康
Sustainable Mobility - Health and Zero Emissions by Bike
在不断新建道路和基础设施造成城市生态系统退化的今天，让城市的交通系统，回归到使用缓慢的自行车，从而减少私人汽车来减少大气污染，温室效应，以及噪声污染，使得社会、经济和环境得以更稳定的发展。
在除了微小的修改（从齿轮箱，盘式制动器到辅助踏板系统），而不改变其本质，只改变其使用形式上面，对最古老的两个车轮的自行车上进行创新，这样的改变是划时代的变革。
自行车不仅仅是典型的交通工具，它在丹麦和中国都是一个国家的象征。但是，近年来，自行车在两国有着不同的命运：在哥本哈根，自行车一直都是城市交通的重要工具；在天津则是在几个月前，新的交通政策实施后自行车才又恢复其在城市交通中的重要角色。这个政策就是今天在天津这个城市有超过10家公司参与自行车分享，在这种新的趋势带动下，自行车将回归作为首选交通工具，因此我们可以看到四个车轮的交通工具的增加的趋势，也正在改变。共享自行车企业提供的技术使得自行车回归天津的街道上。在自行车共享企业中，第一个自行车共享创业公司的估值已经高达10亿美元。
越来越多的自行车成为我们的现代生活方式和可持续城市发展的象征。不断设计出不同类型的自行车是世界各地设计师努力的方向，其中荷兰设计工作室Bleijh Industrial就实现了彻底改变自行车设计的设计方法。其设计的由50件部件组成的自组木架自行车是一种木材制造的盒装木制拼装自行车。
哥本哈根智能车轮，城市中的智能自行车
在哥本哈根，有超过三分之一的人日常出行都是依靠骑自行车，但近期，在市长骑自行车的带领下，这个数据将达到50%。这样的增长趋势究其原因在于，致力于将先进技术应用于两轮世界设计的哥本哈根车轮的项目经理Carlo Ratti，设计的新型自行车技术的新车达到了一个新的台阶。这个经典的电动自行车的设计，简而言之是通过这种技术改良的自行车，收集和分享交通路况信息，成功改善了城市中车辆在交通中的流动性。
这种车辆操作所需的所有技术部件完全集中在车轮内，无需任何外部电源。这是一种混合动力自行车技术，可以实现车辆零排放。其原理是在简单的操作下，就可以从特定的设备捕捉制动以及骑行时消耗的能量，然后将其存储，并在需要的时候给自行车提供能量补给。这样的能源回收原理其实已经不再新鲜，在当今市场上的混合动力汽车，这样的技术早已实现，其基本工作原理多年来一直未变，只是以前从未应用到自行车这样的车辆上面。
天津，诞生于城市中的OFO共享自行车
繁荣的自行车分享行业对中国自行车制造商产生了两极分化的影响，大公司每月都要大量生产数以百万计的自行车，而较小的公司则会由于订单不足而倒闭。天津的自行车制造商飞鸽，就是自行车大生产公司中的一员，该公司也是最大的自行车分享服务商之一被中国城市居民称为“黄色自行车”的Ofo的自行车供应商。也正因为在此种趋势下其生产线处于全面扩张中的状态，飞鸽的总经理张锦英说：“去年底，公司开始聘请更多的员工，至少增加了100名员工，或许将来会聘请更多”。
摆脱固定使用自行车的模式，建立新的自行车使用模式在于提供一个技术租赁系统：在手机上下载一个应用程序，你的手机屏幕上就可以在查询地图上显示离这里最近的自行车，再通过扫码解锁自行车就可以实现租凭一辆自行车。OFO和其他自行车共享企业潜移默化的改善着我们城市，越来越多的人们投入这个行业。在此可以发现一个有趣的现象，数以百万计越来越多的年轻人来尝试着骑这样的自行车作为其最便宜和最快速的交通工具，就如他们的父母和祖父母当年认识一种新生事物一样。
自行车的回归不仅仅只是在天津，乃至整个中国的公共交通可持续循环发展，有着深远的意义。
自组木架自行车，天然材料和高科技的结合
我们已经习惯于金属制成的或复合材料，例如碳纤维的自行车，但是今天，让人感慨的看到了一种全新的由木材制造的自组木架自行车。
源于德国的天然自行车主要是由两个“三角形木板”组成，它是有技巧的通过连接四个相同的气缸组合而成。组装这种自行车不需要什么特殊的设备，只需要单一的工具就可以组合其每个部件。
2006年，最初的想法是设计一款模块化的自行车，使两轮自行车使用起来更加便利。其主要的特点在于便利的组装拆卸，其17公斤的自行车可以拆卸成50件，自行车只需要扁平和低调的包装就可以运输和携带。只要你能掌握组装的技巧，就很容易的把螺丝和各个卡槽卡入到位成功组装。
自组木架自行车是致力于设计一款新型的平稳自行车，从选材到制作工艺都非比寻常，甚至其分销渠道也不同寻常。
A return to slow transport, to the use of bicycle, and in general to an urban mobility system that can reduce the environmental, social and economic impacts generated by private motor vehicles on the environment. The reduction of atmospheric pollution and the emission of greenhouse gases, noise pollution, congestion, degradation of urban areas and the waste of land caused by the construction of new roads and infrastructures.
Innovation got back on the oldest two wheels, back to the pedal-power, back to the bicycle.
Without changing the original vehicle, that is unchangeable, always the same since the very beginning, except for small adjustments (from the gearing, to the brakes, to the pedal assist system) . What now is going to change is the fruition.
Bicycle is not just a common means of transport, in Denmark as in China it is a national symbol. However, in recent years this vehicle has had two different destinies in the two countries: while in Copenhagen bicycle has long been and still is the core of urban transport policy, in Tianjin until just a few months ago there have been a dramatic increase in traffic on four wheels.
Fortunately today such a trend is changing. Today in Tianjin there are more than 10 companies involved in free flowing bike-sharing, a brand new trend through which we have seen bicycles return as a preferred means of transport. Among them OFO has been the first bike-sharing start-up to reach a $1 billion valuation. In Tianjin, bikes are back on the street. This is the best way in which technology can help to change mobility.
But bicycle is also a cult object for designers and amateurs around the world. The Dutch Design Studio Bleijh Industrial made a revolution into the way in which designers approach to the bicycle. Sandwichbike is a bicycle made of wood, sold in a box, to assemble, and consists of 50 pieces. Day after day, the bike is more and more the symbol of contemporary lifestyle and of a modern sustainability based urban development, which turns to our history and to our roots.
Copenhagen Wheel, the Smart Bike for Great Cities
In Copenhagen more than a third of the daily trips are made by bicycle, but the mayor, a staunch cyclist, wants to get 50%. Carlo Ratti, the project manager who invented the Copenhagen Wheel, has been working to apply advanced technologies to the world of two wheels. The vehicle represents a step forward in the integration of new technologies to bikes. This will improve even more the features that already decreed the success of bikes in collective mobility, along with some other innovations realized by means of new information. In short, the classic bicycle becomes the e-bike.
All the technical components needed for the vehicle are concentrated inside the wheel without any external power supply. In this way it was possible to realize a zero-assisted pedal-powered hybrid electric bicycle. The operation is simple: a particular device captures the energy dissipated while you are pedaling and makes it return when you need it to climb up. The principle of energy recycle is not new and is already a reality in some automotive hybrids on the market, but has never been applied to a locomotion medium such as a simple bike, whose operating principle has remained unchanged over the years.
Tianjin, OfO Sharing in the City
The booming bike-sharing industry has had a polarizing effect on Chinese bicycle manufacturers, with big companies going full steam to churn out millions of bikes every month, and smaller firms dying due to a lack of orders. In some of the biggest bike maker factories in Tianjin production lines are going full throttle. They started to hire more workers at the end of last year. These companies are among the suppliers for Ofo, one of the biggest bike-sharing services, whose two-wheels are commonly known as "the yellow bikes" among Chinese city dwellers. This year it has been registered a peak of production for shared bikes and according to a report from Beijing-based BigData Research, by the end of 2016, there were 18.86 million users of shared bicycles, and the number is expected to expand to 50 million by the end of this year.
The ingenious idea is to release the two wheels from the fixed racks and provide them with a rental technology system: download an application on your mobile phone, register and account, check it on the map that appears on the screen where the closest bike is and unlock the anti-theft by scanning a printed code behind the seat and go. One of the interesting things is that millions of young people are having the chance to try the bicycle, finding it the cheapest and fastest way to move, as their fathers and parents already knew. Therefore this is certainly a new knowledge tool. OfO and other bicycle sharing companies have the potential make our cities better and to bring more and more people closer to this means of transportation.
The return to the bicycle represents for Tianjin and throughout China an important step forward towards a sustainable mobility made of cycle lanes and public transport.
Sandwichbike, Natural Materials & Hi-Tech
We are used to bicycles made of metal, or composite materials such as carbon fiber, but today thanks to Sandwichbike, the bicycle will be made of wood. The wood used for the Sandwichbike’s frame is beech plywood, harvested in Germany. A sustainable design: a wooden frame entirely made of wood.
In 2006, the starting idea was to build a modular bicycle which could be able to make the world of two wheels even more accessible.
But the most notable difference relates to the distribution method. The Sandwichbike fits in a small, flat package, so it can be send by post. Everything you need is in the box including the tools, so you can start assembling right away. The thrill of building your own Sandwichbike is only matched by taking it for a spin. Whether you head downtown, cycle around the park or go cruising down the boulevard, you’ll feel the excitement of your own self-assembled Sandwichbike. Thanks to this amazing idea, Sandwichbike has been able to demonstrate that it is possible to invent a perfectly working bicycle with a new style: new materials, new manufacturing technologies and new distribution channels.
