There are no doubts about the fact that when it comes to cycling, the activity is a safe bet for keeping oneself in shape without increasing one’s footprint on the planet. Innervision 1 is a bicycle which is just perfect for all those eco-conscious health freaks. Created by industrial designer Matt Clark, this bike has a great green quotient. Its frame is unique. Carved out from recycled plastic, the bike is an ultra light addition to products that originate from the healthy practice of recycling! The designer has kept in mind all the issues involved in the production process and accordingly designed Innervision 1. Besides the exterior plastic frame (reinforced plus unreinforced recyclable polypropylene) there’s also an Innerframe.

The latter provides rigidity and strength to the bike. To reduce both costs and environmental impact, the Innerframe is also made from recycled plastic bottles. The looks might be deceptive but the reinforced plastic provides the bike a strength equivalent to that found in regular aluminum bike frame!

Now, the only thing which bothers me is its price (not disclosed so far by the designer). Although Matt has kept the cost in mind but as is seen generally, such ultra-green and environmentally friendly products are usually out of the reach of the common man. It would be wonderful if the bike is priced such that it would appeal all kinds of bike riders. After all, if the green and clean technologies are not affordable then how will they be effective in bringing a tangible change in the situations of today?
