How do you (plan to) deal with people trying to stop what looks like a runaway bicycle (esp. when it rolls ^W rides downhill)?


Hah, yeah it reminds me of a runaway shopping cart when you see our bike rolling. We expect people will get used to it eventually but we have some ideas to test in the future on how to make it more obvious, such as giving the bike a ‘face’ and having it lit up with LEDs that are visible from all angles. Def not a solved problem, but as far as design problems go it’s a pretty fun one.
