Everything starts with and - Idea We will start presenting \"hangAbike\" concept by answering some question while explain all details.One Question, remark, was: \"• Clarifying how your design functions, specifically how the bike is secured in the rack…\"Answer: How many times in your life you held pencil in your hand? You where never interested to know how it works? Here is the drawing of pen mechanism, which we will use to lock and unlock bikes!!! We will implement same mechanism for locking and unlocking bikes. Can it be simpler that that ? Of course, the mechanism should suffer some changes, but the essence of this work is the same like with Pencil. We come with bike to the place with \"hangAbike\" parking concept. Place front wheel on mechanism, and just slight - push. Mechanism locks front wheel of bike, and therefore bike it self.©2016 H2O2 Team The \"hangAbike\" Project Locked Vladislav Ostojic | [email protected]

Now when we reveal locking bikes \"secret\" , we move on to the next Question : \"City of Cambridge Technical Criteria for Bike Parking Design (“bicycle racks must not… require that the bicycle be lifted to get it into position”)\" Answer: Yes, we know how for man in 21st Century everything is \"hard\".If all things could be - \"touch screen\" ? Right? Respected, with \"hangAbike\" parking concept, we do not lift anything. Person with bike comes, place wheel, as shown. When front wheel is locked, person just turns big wheel, to the right, or left of him (The mechanism can be used both by left-handed and right-handed persons) Big wheel of \"hangAbike\" is connected to the system of gears. While we turn big wheel, gear system raises bike. *The system can be used without gears. In that case, rotation direction of bike and big wheel is the same. Conclusion: We do not lift anything. The \"hangAbike\" parking is conceived so that we only turn big wheel of \"hangAbike\" device.©2016 H2O2 Team The \"hangAbike\" Project Vladislav Ostojic | [email protected]

Notice: System for locking bikes, Pencil system, is attached in that way so he can rotate, e.g. will not interfere with the position of the bike wheel - bike.Question: \"• Explaining how your design is able to accommodate different bicycle sizes and types, such as those with baskets or panniers, or longer bikes such as “extra-cycles”. \"Answer:Rear wheel of bike is fixed, secured, the same way as front wheel. The locking mechanism for rear wheel is adjustable, depending = distance between front and back wheel. And yes, important thing. Lucky for us, bicycles are built by certain standards, very bike or equipment for them. Example - baskets that are mounted. they cannot be wider than bike. *Weight is NOT important. Remember, you are not lifting the bike, but turning the wheel.©2016 H2O2 Team The \"hangAbike\" Project Vladislav Ostojic | [email protected]

One of Questions was: \"What is the purpose of Smart Screen?\" Answer: Before we answer to this Q, we must explain one more, important, thing. The \"hangAbike\" parking can be protected with covers, panels. This will protect bicycles from: rain, storm, snow, sun, potential robbers, etc. We have one Vision about this parking. First of all over the top of \"hangAbike\" parking there are Solar Panels.These Solar Panels powers the system that works on electricity. But we think aboutCommercial side of concept. On the panels, that are protecting bikes, there can beadvertisements from different Companies who are willing to pay for this kind of service.Furthermore, we call them Smart Screens, by advancing of Technology that Screenswill provide users valuable info, news, way to call ambulance, etc. The idea is thatspace is not just used for bikes, but for other things, multipurpose use of space.You have noticed that on Smart Screen there ispart of screen with inscription \"palm scan\".Since system has electricity, from Solar Panels,it can be made to work - automated.You drive with bike, put front wheel in locking position, lock frontwheel with slight push, and then system does all the rest. Nice?©2016 H2O2 Team The \"hangAbike\" Project Vladislav Ostojic | [email protected]

For some people this os one of most important things. and one of Questions:COST?Answer:It is not hard to predict final cost, but we need to know what we want exactly. To whichextent we want to use/implement \"hangAbike\" concept.If we want to build something so we can park only two bikes, I will say European prices,that \"hangAbike\" parking can be built for 100$, or less.But if we want to implement all benefit of this design: Solar Panels, Smart Sreens, wecome to another calculation. But in that case, the \"hangAbike\" parking will paythrough advertisements, e.g. companies pay that they advert on panels.Since it is *LCD Screens, there unlimited possibilities for advertisement. *We expect that there no questions about how Screens can stand on rain, waterproof. It is 21st Century, and even Mobile Phones has waterproof screens.Our idea is that \"hangAbike\" parking concept can be made from: metal, plastic,aluminum…So, the final answer to the question: Cost? Is = what do you want to achieve by this.If you want to put it on some public place where on Smart Screens is shown offerfrom local department store, Bloomingdale's, or some video advertisement from Coca-Cola, Nike, NBCNews… Here is not a question, the price of the product, but - are you capable to find a market for it. P.S.We say that there is no parts that brake down. \"hangAbike\" parking consists of 3 pipes,several bearing, several spring… Yes, eventuality, these parts can brake down, but inthat case it would not be easier to go on foot ? Walk? Yes, but in that case you could brake leg also…©2016 H2O2 Team The \"hangAbike\" Project Vladislav Ostojic | [email protected]
