pedal squared - A smart and fun way of transport designed for urban commuters traveling between short distances. The sided-by-side seating system is a comfortable ride designed to let users chat and share easily while cycling. The structure is safer and more stable than a standard tandem bike for two. It is also an eco friendly substitute for running errands around town.

Keep - Problem:
Many sauce packets on the market nowadays cannot be resealed once opened. Leftovers accumulated around the edges are unsanitary and often lead to the whole pack being thrown away before a second use.
Solution:
The clip design allows sauce openings to be clean. An easy open lid also keeps the condiments fresh and reusable. To use, simply cut an opening for the package, clip on design and squeeze.
