Physical Project- HELP!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ok, so I am doing my senior project on cycling... I need some ideas.

I have to do a physical project... PHYSICAL... nothing like powerpoint or anything like that. I talked to my teacher about bringing my bike in (Since i upgraded it ) and he said that will be fine... to later then say that it might not be enough for a good grade.

One of the guys at my bike shop said take some cardboard, and draw a bike out of pasta noodles.......


Anyone else have any ideas... something that i can PHYSICALLY MAKE concerning cycling? I need HELP!

Thank you very much!!!

I think I need more details about your assignment: what subject is this project for, and what are the expectations? I'd be glad to brainstorm a few ideas, given more information.

If your project is something you present to others, rather than just stand up and leave - why don't you take some of your bike apart and then put it back together for them?

Ah that would take too long and I have other stuff to present.

It is for Eng. 4 (HS)
Just anything I can physically build with my hands that has to do with cycling.

How about building a bicycle wheel?

There's a book by Jobst Brand, called The Bicycle Wheel.

oh, interesting. I will take that into consideration.!
Thanks.

how about making something creative out of bike spare parts?

A spoked wheel is a good project. I learned from the Bicycling Magazine manual, (lotsa pics:D )

Its not hard once you get the hang of it, then you can brag to your friends you did it:cool:

How about remodeling a cashmere sweater into a jersey?

too cute Sadie!

why couldn't you take your bike in, break the chain and repair it?

or change a flat tire?

A spin on TREK 420 and CorsairMac: Get some old chains from the lbs. and clean them. For you project, use a chain breaker to take apart some links, and reconnect to make jewelry for your classmates--bracelets, necklaces, etc. You'll be popular, maybe start a new fad, and get a good grade all in a matter of minutes.

Good luck!
