His wooden bike is one of two [cut out designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sedia-tonda) that are fun and youthful. The gallery shows the process for [assembling the wooden bike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/slide-table-1), as well as some shadows having a lot of fun on it. Nicolas Belly won second prize from the L’Argus Design Competition for his design, to which I say: Second place? Come on, this is first rate stuff here. The peeps at L’Argus need to wake up. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.2/10 - Popularity: 42% | Activity: 76% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Wooden Bicycle Designs:** There is an opportunity for designers to further innovate and improve on wooden bike designs to make them more practical and efficient. - **Flat Pack Manufacturing:** The flat pack design approach can be applied to other manufacturing industries, reducing production and shipping costs while making it easier for the consumer to assemble products. - **Sustainable Transportation:** Creating sustainable transportation options like wooden bikes can be an opportunity for companies to contribute towards a greener future while meeting consumer demands for eco-friendly products. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Bicycle Manufacturing:** Bicycle companies can incorporate wooden bike designs into their product offerings to provide consumers with a unique option that is both stylish and environmentally friendly. - **Furniture Manufacturing:** The flat pack design concept can be applied to furniture manufacturing, allowing for easy assembly and reduced shipping and production costs, as well as providing consumers with a practical and customizable option. - **Sustainable Product Manufacturing:** Creating products that contribute to a sustainable future, such as wooden bikes and flat pack furniture, can be an opportunity for companies to tap into the growing demand for environmentally conscious products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Handcrafted Off-Road Timber Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gravel-wood-bike.md) - [Transforming Furniture Bicycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/outlaw-bike.md) - [Naturalistic Plant-Based Bicycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/astan-bike.md) - [Lightweight Plywood Electric Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electraply-ebike.md) - [Triangle-Shaped Bicycle Wheels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/triangleshaped-bicycle.md) - [Slipper Wheel-Less Bicycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/slipper-bicycle.md) - [Square-Wheeled Bicycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/squarewheeled-bicycle.md) - [Barebones Motorcycle Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barbones-motorcycle.md) - [STEM-Inspired Balance Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/balance-bike1.md)
