Description
The bike rack Heklucht, combining rack and pump, was designed by Krijn Christiaansen and Jeroen Bruls as an art project for the neighborhood of Ypenburg in the Hague, seat of the Dutch government. The invention won the Dutch Design Award in 2006, following its introduction in a number of European cities; the town of Sandefjord on the Norwegian south coast is one of them. In 2009, Sandefjord joined forces with a host of other Nordic towns, declaring itself a "Nordisk Sykkelby” (Nordic Bike Town) and launching a comprehensive campaign to increase the share of urban traffic undertaken by bike.
