Tricycle prototype at Olin Expo - During my sophomore year of college, I founded and led a team of eight students who designed, built, and tested an urban utility bicycle. Without any formal training, we embarked on a user-centered design process which led to the Longfellow, an extended bicycle with a 4' cargo bed for carrying luggage and passengers.
The Longfellow is now owned by Olin's Environmental club, and is regularly used for shuttling friends between Olin, Wellesley, and Boston.
