The concept
The SL Cykel
The SL Cykel locked in its designated block
Placed in its designated area
Locked outside of its area
Our cities and awareness have evolved. They influence our behavior. Has bike-sharing evolved in the same way? Does bike-sharing now fully correspond to our practice in town? Could the sharing experience enhance comfort similarly or even more as riding your own bike? Where are the limits of the system? When is it worth owning and when is it worth sharing?
In this Master’s project, I tried to identify the needs and desires of urban bicyclists in Stockholm by observing how they make use of their bikes in different times, in different contexts of use and in different scenarios. These understandings and their stories shaped a new possibility of sharing bikes in our every day environment.
Together with SL, Storstockholms Lokaltrafik as my fictional collaborator, I envisioned SL CYKEL, a muscle-driven way of individual public transport in Stockholm.
I detta masterprojekt försöker jag identifiera vad stadscyklister i Stockholm behöver och önskar genom att observera hur de använder sina cyklar vid olika tider, i olika sammanhang och i olika scenarier. Denna förståelse och dessa historier skapade en ny möjlighet att dela cyklar i vår vardagsmiljö.
Tillsammans med SL, Storstockholms Lokaltrafik, som min fiktiva samarbetspartner tänkte jag mig SL CYKEL, en muskeldriven form av kollektivtrafik i Stockholm.
