Model making
Designed for the city cyclist. Anemoi is a stealthy hand guard that protects the user from debris and weather. Using fibreglass, it is strong enough to deal with anything the city has to throw at our enthusiastic cyclist. Inspired by the aerodynamic shapes of the Huayra, it is optimised to allow the user to glide through the roads.
Initial problem
The user for this project is a cyclist who frequently rides into London. While in London, debris would strike him. The harsh weather would hurt his hands and back-spray from cars would not help the situation.
The goal is pretty simple. Guard the users hands from debris and harsh weather.
