Crack!! POP! The sound of your bike breaking down both the tire is flat, and the frame is broken. Too much overuse and barely avoiding obstacles while going very fast.
Problem statement
Problem statement
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.

Justification
Justification
As a casual cyclist it's annoying for me to check my bike every single time and see if it's flat or when I need to go out and seeing my tire flat even though I try my best to stay on the sidewalk, but what about the people that don’t know how to change a tire. Not only that but when does one know when to change the frame of the bike? A survey made by cooper tires shows 81 percent of Americans have had a flat tire and 74 percent say they know how to change a flat tire. The other 26 percent not knowing how to change a tire.

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.
