At first glance, these bikes look quite functional, but if you try to ride them, you will definitely find them where most tires are missing a key element in their installation.

The Velosipedia project began in 2009 when Gianluca Gimni asked his friends and passers-by of all age groups to draw bicycles as they remember them at that moment. The artist says that most of the time when people were faced with this strange request, they initially find it difficult to remember the shape of the bike, some were drawing bikes very close to reality, but most of the time they draw bikes not related to the real shape. He says he did not know that this exercise is being used by psychologists to show how the mind may sometimes fool us into making us think we know something well, whereas reality is the opposite.

The artist adds that he has collected hundreds of these drawings, as there is an incredible diversity in the patterns and shapes that arise from these artistic drawings and it is impossible for a designer to produce this diversity in designs alone.
