Since the early nineteenth century bikes have come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. From penny farthings to boneshakers to modern super-light road bikes. Since their inception bikes have been made from all sorts of materials ranging from wood and steel to aluminium and carbon fibre. Simon Richardson however, is on the hunt for the bike of the future. He's travelling to Amsterdam to find out if 3D printing could graduate from its current uses in rapid prototyping and additive manufacturing and take over as the preferred method to create bicycles.
