Seriously Lightweight Bicycles

The Blackbraid is Made of Carbon Fibre and is Only 11lbs in Weight

— February 25, 2013 — Lifestyle
Cycling around a city can be strenuous, which is why lightweight bicycles like the Blackbraid are great for ensuring that there's no extra pounds to lug around. Made of super strong yet lightweight carbon fibre, the Blackbraid weighs a mere 11lbs and can easily be lifted by even a toddler.

As cycling continues to grow in popularity, the population of riders need better alternatives for getting around that are strong, lightweight and can be stored in an office space or entrance way. This way, efficiency can be dramatically increased in both the storage means and, most importantly, the riding experience because a lighter cycle means more speed without having to put in next level amounts of energy.
Trend Themes
1. Lightweight Bicycles - The trend of lightweight bicycles like the Blackbraid provides opportunities for companies to innovate with materials and design to create even lighter and more efficient bikes.
2. Carbon Fibre - The increasing use of carbon fibre in bicycle manufacturing presents opportunities for carbon fibre suppliers and manufacturers to meet the demand for lightweight and strong bicycle components.
3. Efficient Storage Solutions - The need for better storage options for bicycles in office spaces and entrance ways opens up possibilities for companies to develop innovative and space-saving storage systems.
Industry Implications
1. Bicycle Manufacturing - Bicycle manufacturers can capitalize on the trend of lightweight bicycles by investing in research and development to create lighter and stronger bike models.
2. Carbon Fibre Suppliers - As the demand for carbon fibre in bicycle manufacturing increases, carbon fibre suppliers have the opportunity to expand their market and provide innovative solutions to meet the needs of bicycle manufacturers.
3. Storage Solutions - Companies specializing in storage solutions can offer innovative products and services tailored for the growing demand for efficient bicycle storage in office spaces and entrance ways.
