Kršioso: Our Design Project Created by: Nicholas Krsikapa, Michael Veloso
Introduction For our project we chose to make a bike rack. We wanted to make a change in Georgetown with all of the boring and non-original bike racks. We then came up with the idea to make a bike rack that is not only unique and appealing but that also meets all of the criteria needed.
Examples of Boring or Failed Bike Racks
Criteria Design and model a new and creative bike rack Has to be able to lock at least one wheel and the frame Be able to lock different styles of bikes and different sizes Hold a minimum of 3 bikes and up to 8 bikes

Our Bike Rack
Description (the base) Our bike rack is placed in a 4 x 10 foot concrete base The bike racks are covered on three sides with glass walls that are up to 8 feet high The back wall has a 3 foot gap from the bottom to place your front tire through
Description (single bike rack) The single bike rack we created includes: 3 separate bars on different levels The bars are extendable for different lengths Chains are equipped with each bar to secure the bike The entire model has 5 separate bike racks within the base
Dimensions Base to top bar = 46” Bar radius = 31/32” – 1” Between each bar = 10 ½” Top bar length = 29” Middle bar length = 20” Lower bar length = 10”
Materials Aluminum (actual bike rack) Stainless steel chains Glass walls and roof Stainless steel posts Concrete base
What Makes It Unique? The bars extend out to apply to any bike length Includes 3 levels of bars for small bikes, bigger bikes and wheels A chain is provided so you don’t have to worry about bringing a chain It has a glass roof to protect the bikes from weather conditions We can change our advertisements on the wall
Why It Is Better Then Other Bike Racks? It can fit all sizes and types of bikes comfortably Very simple and fast to lock and unlock Can use any type of lock with no issue Its cheaper in price It secures the bike properly
