Placed a top two interconnected bicycles, the hydroponic farm can be ridden from place to placeIt was inspired by bike share systems now prevalent in many major cities.The frame of the Bike Share Farm also allows for bicycles to be interchangeable.At each stop a new cyclist can attach his bike to the structure, replacing the existing bike. It was created by China’s People's Industrial Design Office , known as PIDO .A team designed and built it during a 72 hour hack-athon in Seoul , South Korea organised by Art Center Nabi. The project asked people to consider the theme of sharing technology and ecologvy in large conurbations.Design rofessionals were asked to generate ideas on urban and ecological issues. Seoul is a massive city with many high-rise buildings but fe garden spaces for the I habitants. A spokeswoman for PIDO said:†Mobile farms can make shared urban farming possible in such a dense megacity.†# POTAGER MOBILE GRACE A DES VELOS PARTAGES (Credit Image: © Visual via ZUMA Press)
