Abstract

This paper proposes representations for bicycles. Innovative bicycles are analyzed and arranged one by one to find functional elements of creative characteristics. The elements of bicycles can be classified into three kinds: functional elements, form elements, and material elements. For the functional elements, they are classified into 14 kinds, where controlling, moving, and input elements are necessary for bicycles. By using symbols, bicycles can be represented simply and quickly for innovation design.
