Cycling is a trend nowadays, therefore bicycle rack has been chosen to be made for this project. Firstly, the bicycle rack is named as ‘Boucle Rack. The word ‘Boucle’ comes from French. This bicycle rack is different from the others as it can be used by different types and sizes of bicycle. An adjustable tire holder with push – button mechanism is added to the rack in order for it function accordingly. The push – button mechanism will help the tire holder size to be adjusted according to the size of bicycle. Besides that, a self – locking system is also available. This self – locking system is not an automated system, the user will need to lock and unlock it themselves. The type of lock used is similar to door locks. It is added due to wanting to increase the safety factor of the rack when in use. Also, one (1) rack can be occupied by two (2) bicycles, which are one on the left and one on the right. Lastly, black vinyl coating cushion is chosen to be the finishing of this bicycle rack. The function is to protect the bicycle from any scratches or possible incident that might happen. From this project, we hope that this bicycle rack will be useful for everyone.
