• Philippe Starck & Peugeot develop Bike of the Future for Bordeaux bike-sharing program

  • starck_peugot_bike_1-525x351.jpgDesigner Philippe Starck has come up with an innovative way to make bike sharing programs a lot more applicable for residents of cities like Bordeaux with this swank design. Built in collaboration with Peugeot, the bike will be developed and produced as part of the Mu by Peugeot line. Starck was commissioned by the City of Bordeaux to develop a Bike of the Future, a design that could be well integrated in the city’s bike sharing program. The result was a hybrid crossover between a scooter and a bicycle, with Starck’s design sporting a footplate integrated in the bike’s frame itself along with pedals, enabling users to thrust forward using their legs.
