Bike kit vending machines branded beautifully by DWP Design
This morning I had a puncture that I couldn’t fix and had to get the train to work, so it feels timely to be writing about Bikestock, a range of vending machines full of cycling essentials that can be found all over New York and Boston. The concept is a simple one; inner tubes, spanners, tyre levers tyres and any number of other little bits and pieces that make your wheels turn smoothly are boshed into a vending machine so you can grab them on the go and, more importantly, at any time of day!
It’s a great idea, but it’s also accompanied by some great branding by David White Pond design, who’ve taken the pattern of a tyre tread and transformed it into a monogram and series of accent patterns. The supporting graphic materials are bold, colourful and accessible meaning the Bikestock vending machines look like a whole lot of fun – not just the preserve of die-hard fixie fanatics.
