It turned out that the wheel can be reinvented. To make it possible for the British designer, who thanks to the innovative design and modern materials could make a wheel, which on terrible potholes and curbs.
British designer, made a loud statement that he "invented the wheel". And he did not exaggerate. His invention - the wheel Loopwheels without spokes, which is the phenomenal damping properties. Wheel Loopwheels was recently nominated by the London design Museum for design of the year". It is assumed that the use of innovative wheels will bring a new level of ride comfort bikes, as well as in children and wheelchairs.
inventor and designer, who has previously worked with the equipment is not invasive surgery, the early pocket PC era Palm Pilot and motorcycles. All his life he tried to bring something new in ordinary things. In 2007, the inventor began work on the improvement of strollers after waiting for your flight at the airport in the Netherlands noticed a woman with a pram. The sidecar wheel hit the curb, and the child almost fell out of her. Then Pierce first came up with the idea to build in the wheel springs.
created a wheel in which the usual spokes replaced on the flexible springs of carbon fiber. The system Loopwheels are compatible with most standard parts.
Bikes today have become citizens more and more popular, and their design often comes to a qualitatively new level. So, folding hybrid bike and electric bike with onboard computer in the near future may become a real alternative to urban transport.

Very cool, thanks for this!
I wonder if a similar design of the Loopwheel could be used in the automotive industry to alleviate the strain on car shocks. As a person form Ohio, where the roads are mostly pot holes in some areas, I hope to see this expanded.
