The front left fork failed. You can see the crack in the video as he is riding. The front fork has a bending moment as well as compressive force. When the bending force was applied the concrete failed and the rebar did not.
Overall, I really liked this as an art project. I'm not sure what the artist wants to communicate with the bike, but I found it very satisfying.

- 2muchcoffeeman 4y agoHow much of this can you just chalk up to using concrete and just copying the design of a normal bike? This is a fun art project but doesn't seem like much more. Sorry for being negative about an art project. I think I was projecting my own biases, but it sounded like an engineering project and then I didn't learn anything.
