Robert Wechsler invented a cycle bike in 2003. Twenty years later, took it out of storage, so that the next generation can try it. Here's a translation of the YouTube description: “I built this cycle bike when I was a student at the University of California, in Santa Barbara. Twenty years later, as an artist in the Olin College of Engineering, I brought it to market for Olin's Fall Festival, so that the next generation can try it. The title came from a conversation I had with my professor at the time, about my disappointment when I learned that the cycle bike was not a completely original idea. I honestly came to that conclusion, but my professor was able to point out some artists who had created similar things in the past. In fact, I learned that as early as 1900, people were making 'pedal carousels'. Building this cycle bike taught me a lot”. I learned to weld, to repair bicycles and, the most important, i learned that it is not so important to be 100% original, because in reality it is impossible. We follow the same paths, we explore the same themes, we make the same mistakes and relive the same stories. This isn't the first cycle bike and it won't be the last. This isn't the first cycle bike and it won't be the last, and there is no better one, just variations on the same idea.
