Seoul Design Foundation together with designboom promotes an international design competition. participation is open to applicants from every country in the world, to professionals, students, and design-enthusiasts. free registration required.
once considered a ‘hard’ city, Seoul is making strides toward becoming a ‘soft’city.
Seoul is about to be reborn as a soft city by embracing design concepts that will redefine its urban environment with an emphasis on themes centering on green, blue, history and human.
the Seoul Cycle Design Competition will be held under the theme, ‘cycling with design: seoul style,’ and is part of Seoul’s city-wide effort at improving its design brand and image. the primary goal of the competition is to help build a design orientedcity that focuses on its people. the competition is divided into three categories:
cycle design, cycle fashion & accessories design, and cycling infrastructure. all three categories emphasize environment-friendly ideas, with the hope that the contest will contribute to establishing a healthiercycling culture.
cycles have become an icon of ‘eco-friendliness’ and ‘healthiness,’ and are part of a major urban lifestyle trend. nearly everyone can enjoy riding cycles; therefore, just about everyone will be able to enter the competition.
through this competition we hope that all citizens will have the chance to share their own personal visions for a new Seoul, a city that has embraced change through design.
we invite everyone who is interested in cycling and design to take part in the Seoul Cycle Design Competition.

I came back from the Ride Of Silence with a quiet sense of satisfaction. I have a feeling that the healthy cycling trend is going to grow bigger and stronger. Which can only be good for Singaporean as a whole.

Ride of Silence
Last year, on the evening of May 22nd 2009, 497 cyclists gathered at Merlion Park to ride 20km in silence to promote cycling safety, cycling awareness and to remember the countless cyclists who were injured or killed on the roads of Singapore.
This year, as part of cycling safety month, join thousands of cyclists from all around the world, and ride to raise cycling safety awareness and to remember our friends and loved ones who were injured or killed.
Last year alone, in Singapore, there were over 450 bicycle-car accident resulting in injury or death of 450 cyclists.
Lets try to change things, make it safer for us and for our future.
