Name of Bike Frame: “Space Cruiser”
Inspiration: I strove to create a design that was interesting yet simple so it would appeal to a wide audience. As far as the inspiration, I chose the subject based on the idea that any conveyance moves us through space as we all, overall, are moving through space. Often this big picture is lost in the details. I added a spaceship (the shape reflective of a bike helmet) to represent this space traveling.
