33. Controlled Assessment Unit1 Unit 1 Draft Controlled Assessment Tasks Bicycle Maintenance Keen cyclists have asked you as a designer to design a maintenance stand for bicycles. They have identified this need due to continuous repairs that need to be carried out on their bicycles throughout the year. The device should be collapsible, easy to move around and incorporate features useful for avid cyclists. Multifunctional Seating Seating devices come in many different forms. You have been asked as a designer to design a multifunctional seating device, that is portable, easily carried and has a storage facility.
