ABSTRACT

A group of students from Appalachian State University's Industrial Design School in North Carolina created a working bicycle out of used water bottles and won the Juicy Ideas National Competition. The students have now come to Google to talk about how they created the bike, their version 2.0, and how they plan to make their idea a reality.
