Bicycle weeder

What?

The bicycle weeder is a concept made to support the farmer in there seeding, tending, weeding and harvesting process. 
Kneeling and having a curved back can make your physical health deteriorate rapidly. 

By supporting every body part, the farmer can work for longer and more efficient.

How?

By hovering you can reach every plant. The most ideal would be a prone position. To realise this, close attention was paid to ergonomics and forward motion. Through studying the heavy loaded pressure points, combined with the forward motion mechanism that is adaptable to any size, I came to this solution.
