We gave a 15-20 minute presentation to our assessors, who then questioned us on our design. The main issues they found with our design were the following:
- how gear shifting could be easily used with the new bicycle handlebar
- the reaction time it would take a user to move from gripping the upright handlebars to moving his hand to the lever brakes.
Overall, the Showcase went well, and the Praxis II Design Project enabled me to practice all steps of the design process.
