For several years now, Italian designer Gianluca Gimini has been inviting freinds and strangers to draw bicycles from memory.
He ponders the bikes in the drawings, then he renders them, as if they were real.

Everything. As It Happens.
Well…he renders them. Big difference! Still super cool though.
It always reminds me of the last line of an old hymn that went “Earth and heaven render thee”. Since I was a child, all I can ever think of is boiling fat.
And why did he only invite ‘fiends and strangers’? That seems like a very unsafe mode of artistic musing. Did he only render at night in an unlit alley in the middle of Naples?
Oooh, post edit makes my comment void. Harsh.
Funny and good, now we need some welder to go ahead and make some of these, I like the second last with the big tyres!
Think of the fun when road rage hits you on that thing! :)
Bike no.2 is the only one that will actually function correctly.
Maybe have another look at that
I mean, it could do with a bit of bracing but, apart from that, you could actually sit on it, pedal it and steer it.
He cheated a little with that one though, it shouldn’t have a chain. It could technically work, but it wouldn’t take a lot for the frame to bend at the joints.
Pile inducing hoopties
