Sometimes I wish designers would stay away from bicycles.
I couldn’t agree more.
If there was ever a product where function trumps form it’s the bicycle. The template provided to sketch over allows for the “creation” of a standard non-suspension bike. Any “design” - particularly if it’s only done from one view as shown in the provided template - is most likely going to be purely decorational.
Students are better off spending their time learning how to creatively solve real design problems than coming up with un-realistic bike frames.
