@wechslerart: "The Best Circular Bike Ever Made" 2003 I made this circular bike as an art student at UCSB. Twenty years later, as an Artist in Residence at Olin College of Engineering I brought it out for Olins 2023 Fall Gathering celebration so a new generation can ride. The title came from a conversation I had with my professor at the time about my disappointment in learning that a circular bike was not a wholly original idea. I came to it honestly, but my professor was able to point to a few artists who had created similar things in the past. I’m fact, I learned that as early as the 1900’s people were making ‘velocipede carousels.’ Making this circular bike taught me a lot. I learned to weld, and how to fix bikes and most importantly I learned it’s not so important to be 100% original, in fact it’s impossible. We walk the same paths, we explore the same themes, we make the same mistakes and we relive the same histories. This is not the first circular bike, and it won’t be the last, and there is no best, just variations on an idea. #circularbike #carousel #kineticart #publicart #olincollege #artistinresidence #robertwechsler #engineering #contraptioneering #design @olinengineering

This is a perfect example of how a group project works. Look at all those people not pedaling yet still enjoying the benefits of those pedalling hard!

If you put a pole in the middle attached to a couple of the bikes it’s an upgraded merry go round.
