Update on Grant Howarth's anti-bicycle-theft design

By Rain Noe - May 13, 2009

in Object Culture

Earlier this year we posted about Grant Howarth's entry for the 2009 RSA Design Directions "Design Against Bicycle Theft." Howarth, who took top prize, has posted more information about his winning design on Coroflot.

Howarth has also specifically addressed our assertion that the design (which we liked) would never work in Manhattan, as you'd never manage to find that kind of real estate on the sidewalk. Despite the earlier renderings, Howarth points out that it's not supposed to go on the sidewalk, but off of the curb: "The product is designed to replace a car parking space, encouraging greener modes of transport and sending a message to people that cycling IS a form of transport."
