Italian-American designer Gianluca Gimini handed random people paper and a pen and instructed them to draw a bicycle based only on memory. He wound up with hundreds of sketches--and a realization that only 25% of people actually drew a bicycle that would function if built based on the drawing. “This is actually a test that psychologists use to demonstrate how our brain sometimes tricks us into thinking we know something even though we don’t,” said Gimini. Gimini went on to actually build some of the most unique bike designs. “A single designer could not invent so many new bike designs in 100 lifetimes and this is why I look at this collection in such awe.”
