The concept here is to “Live with a lifetime partner.” The main idea for this concept is the relationship between the bike rider and the bike. In the long term, bike lovers prefer to keep the bike for a lifetime not just as transportation, but as an art or partner, or a treasure, and so on. The point of choosing “wood” as the bike material is the beauty of its degradation over time and its smooth touch. The wooden bike will change its appearance over time and live with the owner even after they’ve retired from riding a bike. The second point is touch. The bike is something that extends the rider’s strength and becomes part of the body. The touch of wood is warm and fits into the hand, which will provide another important way to enjoy the bike.
