The Melbourne bike is a convenient, environmentally friendly and small last-mile vehicle. It aims to expand the demographics of cyclists and move users away from thinking of bikes as a hobbyist pastime to bikes as a normal way of getting around.

Thomas Reeves, The Melbourne Bike
The Melbourne Bike is designed to commuting and cycling more comfortable and easier. It features the comfortable geometry of a city bike with the looks of a road bike. Nodular cargo components allow flexibility for everyday use.
Thomas Reeves, Modular Component Design
By removing a single bolt, the bike light can be swapped for a pack rack or basket. This allows for quick and easy cargo capacity changes with a secure attachment mechanism.
Thomas Reeves, Car Shaped Bicycle Racks
The bike storage solution is a car shaped bike rack. This highlights the reduced space requires if more commuters ride rather than drive. This aims further encourage cycling over car use, reducing congestion and environmental impact of driving.
Thomas Reeves, Bike Customisability
Melbourne has a cycling culture built on customisability. The Melbourne Bike allows standard parts to be swapped out for personal preference, colours to be changed and a variety of cargo racks and baskets to be chosen and switched to suit a riders needs.
