Parkcycle Swarm

The Parkcycle Swarm is a modular system that empower persons to build an instant public park whenever and wherever they want to. The Parkcycle Swarm consists of a number of human powered mobile gardens. The individual gardens can be combined to form public parks. A Parkcycle Swarm can consist of any number of individual gardens. 

Areas normally used by cars like parking lots or roads in general can be reclaimed and used for non polluting peaceful social activities instead. Each vehicle has been designed to comply with local bicycle standards. The version showed in this manual fits the EU standards of bicycle design. Adaptations to local regulations in other parts of the world may be necessary and can influence the size of each individual cycle.

The Parkcycle Swarm can be seen as a DIY urban planning tool as an alternative to the top down urban planning that dominates most cities in the world. N55 encourage persons to build their own cycles and form Parkcycle Swarms and hereby influence their local urban environments.
