TIER Mobility’s Post

As I look back to recap on this year’s Eurobike 2024: I could go into macroeconomics and industry obstacles, BUT, I won’t. I want to share something that is part of my “KISS” (𝗞𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗜𝘁 𝗦𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗽𝗶𝗱) 𝗺𝗼𝗱𝘂𝘀 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶. 𝗜 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗮 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗺𝗲𝘁 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗜 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲. As I am in the 𝗦𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘀’ 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗚𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀, one thing that I would like to see Bike Festival organizers 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 “𝘀𝗮𝗳𝗲𝘁𝘆” 𝗶𝗻 𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗹 - 𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝘀𝘂𝗯-𝘀𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿. In addition, 𝗯𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘂𝗽 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗻𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘀 like helmets and goggles, so that: 1) The bike testers are safe at the Festival 2) There is cross promotion between products and  3) We send a message to the public that 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘆 𝘂𝗽𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗱𝘀 𝘀𝗮𝗳𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁 𝗔𝗟𝗪𝗔𝗬𝗦 Seems like a very simple change to implement, right?

'Circular revolution': Transforming cycling into a more sustainable industry At TAIPEI CYCLE I ran into Thomas Hallam-Gravells from #GCN. We had an interesting chat about #sustainability in the #cycling industry, which resulted in this great article. We talked about #design: "We should really be #designing from a #user perspective. The user doesn't want a creaking bike, they don’t want to replace chains and chainrings and all sorts of other stuff, they just want a #bike that runs very long.” On how things are #moving: “And slowly but steadily, things are changing. I mean five years ago, there was no way I could get in contact with TAIPEI CYCLE or the #Taiwanese cycling industry, and now I get invited to run a #workshop here.” And the role of the Union Cycliste Internationale: “I would really like to encourage the UCI to say ‘we use the #propeloton as a platform for #innovation, on #sustainable and #circular #materials’. So, they could set up rules to say we’re going to raise the minimum weight limit from 6.8kg to say 8kg. There’s a lot of room for #experimenting with different materials, like #biobased composite materials, which are already out there, already being used in Formula 1 and in #sailing boats. Could you #imagine what would happen if you do have the space to start innovating on a new generation of materials and the UCI says you need to have at least 50% #recycled content or 50% #biobased materials, and all of the components on the bikes need to be properly #recyclable, so they don’t end up in a landfill or an incinerator, but can be brought back into the production process? Then there is the #durability part, so if you could limit the number of bikes that a team could use each year, like what happens in Formula One with the number of engines or tyres you can use in a race, it really would spark a wave of innovation towards making more durable products.” Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/ex_zi_Mr #tech #bicycles #apparel #circularrevolution Circular Cycling Shift Cycling Culture Play Sports Group

LESS THAN A WEEK UNTIL #WorldBicycleDay. On June 3, we invite you to share a response to the following question: What does #fietsgeluk ("cycling happiness") mean to you? Fietsgeluk is a concept rising in prominence among Dutch planners and policy makers. It reflects the growing realisation that transport has emotional, sensory and social qualities that have been ignored for decades. https://lnkd.in/eNbWz32s

Exciting News for Cyclists! 🚴♀️ We're thrilled to introduce one of our newest products, the nxtCycle Wave! The nxtCycle Wave is a step up from its predecessor the nxtCycle by being a developed self-sufficient entirely touchless pedestrian push button. The nxtCycle Wave was meticulously engineered with cyclists in mind. No longer will cyclists have to dismount and leave the bike lane to place a call. This innovative device is all about redefining convenience and safety by placing the button at an optimal height within the bike lanes, enabling cyclists to place a call without risking pedestrian buttons or illegal crossings. The cyclist button is actuated with a wave of the hand and is part of our Wave lineup of active infrared sensors. Through thorough testing, we fully stand behind the fact that our sensors will not send faulty calls and have full capability to stand alone as a touchless cyclist button, without any mechanical push button functions. Our infrared sensors operate flawlessly in all weather conditions, from rain to snow, and have a hand motion detection range of 1-6 inches. Constructed from durable solid aluminum, the nxtCycle Wave exhibits resilience against vandalism and impacts. Moreover, the top of the station serves as a handle grip to provide stability for cyclists as they await the cross signal. Additionally, the button cup facilitates effortless mounting on poles of different sizes, and the pole relief channel guarantees a secure and snug fit. The nxtCycle Wave also offers the flexibility of operating in either momentary or latching LED mode, accompanied by an audible dee-dah tone signaling the successful placement of a call. In essence, the nxtCycle Wave stands as a testament to our commitment to enhancing cyclists’ safety and experience, by offering a touchless, reliable, and cyclist-friendly solution. Embrace the future of cycling safety and say hello to a new era of cycling convenience the nxtCycle Wave! #nxtCycleWave #cyclinginnovation #cyclistbutton #touchless

We are thrilled to announce our partnership with renowned Italian saddle manufacturer fizik on a exciting project! Back in 2002, we developed a patent for customizing saddles based on pressure distribution mapping. Now, Fizik is bringing this technology to the global market with Project One-to-One, offering individually customized 3D-printed saddles. This is a huge step forward in cycling technology!   With over 20 years of experience, gebioMized has played a key role in this innovative project. Our saddle pressure mapping, which makes the invisible visible in bike fitting, has been instrumental in understanding the contact points between the rider and the bike.   Our software, used by over 800 bike fitting labs worldwide, and our extensive database of saddle pressure data have greatly advanced Project One-to-One. “Our database of saddle pressure data is probably the largest in the world. This wealth of knowledge has greatly advanced Project One-to-One,” says Daniel Schade, CEO of gebioMized.   As part of this partnership, we developed special saddle pressure hardware and co-developed a new app for retailers and bike fitters, making customized solutions more accessible to cyclists worldwide.   Giovanni Fogal, Brand Manager of Fizik, says: “With One-to-One, we achieve what every saddle manufacturer has always dreamed of: bringing customized support to every cyclist. We could have never done it without gebioMized.”   Daniel Schade adds, “This partnership underscores our position as a leader in pressure mapping for bike fitting and demonstrates gebioMized’s commitment to innovation in the cycling industry.”   #Innovation #Cycling #BikeFitting #gebioMized #Fizik #OneToOne #3DPrinting #CyclingTech #CustomSaddles #Partnership #PressureMapping

🚴♂️ The E-Bike Boom: Trend or Bubble? 🚴♀️ The rapid rise of e-bikes in markets like the Netherlands has raised questions: Is this growth sustainable, or are we heading toward an e-bike bubble? 🌐 With mass-market retailers entering the space, concerns about quality and pricing loom. Yet, experts like Ed Benjamin predict a global boom, echoing trends seen in China. ⚡ As we witness this shift, it's essential to consider the long-term impact on both independent dealers and the cycling industry as a whole. #ebikerevolution #sustainablemobility #cyclingfuture #greentech #markettrends Full read here: https://lnkd.in/dh8mjTsd
