2020 / UP CYCLE
Many bikes end up on the dump even though there are plenty of parts that can be used again or used somewhere else. Bikes are just one example here. Too much is thrown away even though it can be valuable for someone or something else.
This project represents a playful approach to the idea that what might be waste for someone can still be of great value for someone else. I want to emphasise that reusing or up cycling, which often is associated with a loss of quality, does not mean to limit yourself, but rather offers new opportunities and experiences.

The process is documented in its entirety. Every step, including my experiences, is explained in a manual, in case you ever want to build a tandem yourself.
