The plastic, recyclable bike prototype was designed by Matt Clark, an industrial designer from California. The inovative eco bike is called the IV-1, or the Innervision 1. The plastic bike is built primarily with polypropylene, a very light plastic which is less dense than water. The IV-1 is a good-looking prototype, however, I’m not completely sold on this bike’s durability. Not yet.  Recycle-ability, a significant objective, was met by utilizing polypropylene throughout the entire frame structure to ensure it is fully recyclable.
Another objective was to make the bicycle even more customizable to further increase enthusiasm. This is an age in product design that emphasizes individuality and customization. Similar to the way people customize a skateboard or surfboard; this new bicycle provides a blank canvas to the rider.
