Introduction

Cyclist encounters many problems when they ride bicycles. People usually can't afford a car and usually carry multiple items on their bikes but don’t have that much space. Additionally, Aluminum frames do wear out because of accumulative fatigue which reduces the stiffness and tensile strength of the material over time. It's believed that aluminum frames can pass through a limited number of stress cycles before developing cracks and eventually failing.

Product Lifecycle

The product will have a life cycle of about 25 to 30 years if kept in good working condition. It will have the same material of almost every typical bike including carbon fiber material if possible.

Market analysis

Americans Spend Nearly $100 Billion Annually on Bikes. According to new data from the Outdoor Industry Association trade organization, we're shelling out considerably to feed our collective cycling habit—and that's a good thing.

Conclusion

As a result, if the bike frames are left unchanged then many cyclists will waste their money on something that can’t be fixed. Although it looks very durable, I believe that there can be many ways of shifting frames into a different position
