Chaicycle

Summer thoughts:







People want to be together. 
Thoughts of leaving university with no job to go to. My dad was thinking of making a cafe. I enjoy cooking/ making food as well so why don't i do a mini 1 person version of that? I like things to pollute the environment as little as possible; so build something onto a bike. Or have a couple people together carrying a tent together. 
What are the practicalities of this ? A tent pole is damn heavy ( i'm talking like on big enough to house a  cafe of people). 
Why not a geodesic dome, i have always wanted to make one so why not now? The staff of the cafe could each have a bike trailer and carry with them a fraction of the weight. 
Food: to start off just sell simple 1- 3 things what about tea chai and coffee ? 

Thomas's thoughts of involving something computer related into the project. Solar sombreros ... charge your phone while in the shade and drinking a chai/tea/coffee. Or wifi on one thing at the desk. 



Rinky Dink (above) has stayed in my mind ever since the live 8 make poverty history march in 2001 ish time. I love the communal nature of this contraption. How it does so many things but fundamentally is just a bike.



Also, Hannah Brackston (above) was my helper 4th year when i was in first year and it was inspirational to see where environmental art could take you. Another good example of a bike sculpture practical thing.

My thoughts for a project:





Solar Cooker would het up the chai/tea/coffee and be a sustainable and free way to heat the product.
