Design a bike trailer which enhances the family’s cycling experience. It should take advantage of the boom in the number of people interested in cycling and should be aimed at young families. The product should be aimed at both parents and children, with the children being aged between 12 months and 5 years old. It should be competitively priced to meet current market demand and be a sustainable design. It must use aluminium extrusions as a key feature of the design and the project must be completed by 8th May 2014.
