Thanks

    I suppose of you lived near the border of one country... and worked just inside the next one... you could be an international commuter! 8)

    To be a bit more helpful - there was that guy from New Zealand quite recently?

    I also lived in NZ for a year, however didnt really use a bike out there much. If i can be of any help please let me know.

    Exactly what are you looking to design?

    I'm from Canada, and have one season of winter commuting under my belt so far...

    But a few more details about your project, perhaps, so I know if I can be helpful?

    Hi Guys,

    Thanks for the response. The project is basically looking at designing a tool that can be used by commuters worldwide, it is called the commutool . It is part of a University project based around design across borders. I would like to hear your reactions to the project and any thoughts you have on i.

    COMMUTOOL
    The commutool is aimed at a veriety of people from the everyday commuter to travellers using bike loaning schemes.
    Its is a handle bar mounted tool that encompasses-
    -A front Light.
    -A detatchable rear light.
    -A very basic GPS system for use in large cities.
    - A warning system for both pedestrians and motorists, using the concept of ultra sounic detection and a battery powered alarm.
    - The unit will be rechargable.

    Thanks for your time,

    All responses positive or negative will be greatfuklly recieved.

    What weight will it be?? Obviously a major concern!
    What would be a RRP?? Also of interest!


    I am writing from Switzerland and it sounds like just the kind of gadget/toy my boyfriend would go for..... (He is a guy, likes his toys!!!)
    :D
