FYP: UpCycle I chose to focus my dissertation project on cycle infrastructure in cities and was in which a product could help change the behavioural patterns of urban cyclists. Working in partnership with bicycle researchers and companies and civil engineering firms, from all over the world, I developed the UpCycle which is a compact bicycle parking unit for 20 bikes replacing a parking space. I chose to carry on with the project after my degree was over as there is still a place in the world for this product and because it was a completely new way of parking a bike without a bike lock.
