Mechanical harmony
Article Abstract:
The design of the bicycle is a combination of refined necessity and aesthetic grace. It is essential that bicycles have no extraneous parts, and that their parts function together in a smoothly mechanical fashion to provide a fast and efficient ride. Designers also have the opportunity to work within the confines of these requirements to develop beautiful statements of purity and grace, which provide rider and spectator with a focused vision of speed.
