# Ultimate Urban Bicycles The Cylo One Bike is a Minimal Design with Built-In Lights By Meghan Young | Published 2014-04-30 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cylo-one-bike References: [uncrate](http://uncrate.com/stuff/cylo-one-bike/) & [cylo.cc](http://www.cylo.cc/) There are many things that [urban cyclists](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nimble-urban-ebikes) neglect when commuting around the city, one happens to be helmets and the other lights; the Cylo One Bike takes care of the latter. It boasts built-in break and head lights to ensure that the cyclist remains as visible as possible while carousing along the [busy streets of their town](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heybike-ec-compact). These lights, which are very strong, are powered by the kinetic energy generated by the pedaler him- or herself. Designed by two French brothers based in Portland, Oregon, the Cylo One Bike also features a [lightweight frame](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/t1-st-plus) and clean design to appeal to stylish city-dwellers. Available in three colors (white, orange and black), the Cylo One Bike considers three of the most important elements when designing such a product: performance, functionality and, as already mentioned, style. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.7/10 - Popularity: 99% | Activity: 93% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Built-in Lights:** There is an opportunity for the development of more bicycles with built-in lights to enhance cyclist safety and visibility. - **Minimal Design:** There is a potential for minimalist design trends in urban bicycles to appeal to style-conscious city-dwellers. - **Kinetic Energy:** There is a potential for the integration of kinetic energy generation into bicycles to power various features and reduce reliance on external power sources. ### Where This Applies - **Bicycle Manufacturing:** The bicycle manufacturing industry can explore the production of urban bicycles with built-in lights and minimalist design features. - **Outdoor Retail:** Outdoor retail companies can capitalize on the trend of urban bicycles with built-in lights and minimalist designs by offering a wide range of options to consumers. - **Alternative Energy:** The alternative energy industry can consider incorporating kinetic energy technology into bicycles to harness human power for sustainable transportation. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Illuminated Cycling Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/illuminated-cycling-helmet.md) - [Nighttime Limited Electric Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nocturne-bike.md) - [Connected Agile Electric Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/urtopia-carbon-one.md) - [Crank-Powered Bike Light Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wnd-helmet.md) - [Style-Conscious Cyclist Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/town-mouse-center-light.md) - [Urban Electric Bicycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/treadwell-neo-2.md) - [Removable Headlight eBikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-bike-concept-design.md) - [Sleek Electric Bicycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/model-1.md) - [Illuminated Bike Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightweight.md)
