Congratulations! Your submission, The Flycycle, has been selected to advance to the Semi-Finalists round of this competition. The judges greatly appreciate your design’s elegance and recognize its potential for increased efficiency. It also appears to be technically feasible and a potentially cost-effective solution.

You now have until March 7th to make revisions and improvements to your proposal. We hope to see you use this time before the final round of judging to address several issues that were raised by the contest judges, including:
• How your design accommodates bikes with various features such as varying handlebar styles and widths, fenders, baskets, or panniers.
• How the pedals of two bikes side-by-side are prevented from obstructing each other.
• Removing the need to lift the bicycle into place in the rack in the hanging configuration, as your current design does not meet the City of Cambridge Technical Criteria for Bike Parking Design (“bicycle racks must not… require that the bicycle be lifted to get it into position”). The hanging version is not deemed to be a feasible part of the proposal as presented. Consider integrating solutions such as mechanical lifting or a longer ramp.
• Clarify the way that a bike is rolled onto the ramp so that the tires are supported and the bike can be rolled, not lifted, into position.

We are all excited to review the next iteration of your design submission and appreciate your hard work so far! Please don’t hesitate to reach out to the contest fellows through the competition page with any questions or for clarification.

Congratulations and good luck!
