Grandpa-Inspired Cycles

The CB2 Bicycle was Designed in Collaboration with Republic Bikes

— March 31, 2011 — Eco
Everyone is jumping on the eco-friendly bandwagon and now, one home furnishing retail store is following the suit of fashion houses by releasing their own CB2 bicycle. Inspired by the classic Dutch design, otherwise known as the grandpa bike, this new addition to the cycle world is both practical and stylish.

Created in collaboration with Republic Bikes, the CB2 bicycle comes in two versions: The abuelo (for the guy) and abuela (for the girl). These his and her bikes make the perfect addition to eco-consious couple lifestyles.

Both CB2 bicycle models are 3-speed city bikes with cargo racks with bungee straps. The abuela woman's version comes with an additional skirt guard on the rear wheel and a fully enclosed sprocket and chain. The CB2 bicycle is available in only one color scheme.
Trend Themes
1. Grandpa-inspired Bikes - Designing new bike models inspired by classic designs presents opportunities for nostalgia and innovation in sustainable transportation.
2. Couple-friendly Transportation - Designing bikes that cater to couples' lifestyles can open up a niche market for shared mobility solutions.
3. Collaborative Design - Collaborating with other companies or industries, like home furnishing retail stores and bike manufacturers, can yield unique and innovative product designs.
Industry Implications
1. Sustainable Transportation - Incorporating eco-friendly options in transportation design is a must to cater to the increasing demand for sustainable mobility solutions.
2. Home Furnishing Retail - Partnering with manufacturers and designers to expand into product categories outside of home goods can provide new revenue streams.
3. Shared Mobility Solutions - Creating products that cater to couples' lifestyles and needs in mobility can present opportunities for shared mobility solutions that reduce the overall number of vehicles on the road.
