New Design Could Transform 1st Bike Ride

A great example of empathic design, a bike that transforms from a tricicle to a bicicle as you move forward faster.

Three Purdue University industrial designers who tapped into memories of their own childhood cycling misadventures have built a bike that ditches the training wheels but keeps rookies stable.

Called SHIFT, it slowly transforms from a tricycle to bicycle configuration as the rider pedals faster, then returns to trike formation as the rider slows down.
