Inspiration
Muji is a Japanese retail company which sells a wide variety of household and consumer goods. Muji is distinguished by its design minimalism, emphasis on recycling, avoidance of waste in production, and no-logo or "no-brand" policy. A mountain bike or mountain bicycle is a bicycle created for off-road cycling.
Inspiration Mountain bikes are typically ridden on single track trails, logging roads, and other unpaved environments. These types of terrain commonly include rocks, washouts, ruts, loose sand, loose gravel, roots, and steep grades. Mountain bikes are built to handle this terrain and the obstacles that are found in it like logs, vertical drop offs, and smaller boulders.
Project goal The purpose of this project is using Muji brand language to create a functional free-ride mountain bike knee brace which is also fit the user needs.
