I haven’t outgrown my childhood love of cycling. Instead, my fascination with it continues to grow. I often feel that the discipline of Vehicle Design has grown in an unbalanced manner — too preoccupied with peacocking and demonstrations of personal superiority. In general, the contrasting qualities of simplicity and efficiency, plus the health benefits of cycling enjoy a timeless relevance.
There is room for everyone on the road. We understand ourselves better if we can understand each other. My work at the RCA has frequently explored this cross-pollination.
