Next student teams were asked to improve on a basic bicycle design. About eightminutes were given to this task. After hearing student solutions, many of which were the“obvious” such as gears, suspension, etc., several additional ideas were offered in the PPT, manyof which were not discussed by the students, such as bicycles for other functions like mowing thegrass or bicycles as art.
