A Beautiful Bike-Share Hack That You Can Wear
Would you buy this pendant made of gold-plated stainless steel?
Ted Ullrich, the co-founder and partner of product design and development firm Tomorrow Lab, likes to tear things apart and find out how they work. So it was only natural that he deconstructed his membership fob for New York’s Citi Bike system, of which he and his colleagues are big fans (they’ve also designed a cupholder specially fitted for Citi Bike).
“I’m a founding member of Citi Bike,” says Ullrich. “And we use our personal interests to do skill-building.” Ullrich is also interested in how Citi Bike works because he was involved in the early stages of creation for a different type of bike-sharing system, SoBi.
