Circle Eindhoven
Cycle the Ciqlé (alt name for SlowLane)

Ciqlé: Circle life

Ciqlé experience

The road (circle) is seperated in 6-9 parts (depending on the amount of life themes). Every part starts with a changing Wifi-point. Here you can download (also) changing entertainment (video or audio) about/regarding a specific theme and/or general information about the weather, news, sport or a voice travel guide that tells/informs you (while cycling) about the city/enviroment/businesses along the road you are travelling.

The content can be downloaded directly using WiFi (ChangingPoint is also a WiFi hotspot) or real time streamed while cycling. For safety, audio is better than video. You don't want cyclists to watch video while travelling ;-). Now travellers can choose to listen or watch the media while resting or while cycling...

Everything is powered by Solar panels that also function as rain and sun shelter. Everything is also designed in round and organic shapes (round billboard, drinking fountain, plantenbakken?, bridgerailing) with round holes to emphasise the circle. and in the colours white and blue/purple. The Danish world expo 2010 pavilion is a good example but then more organic (as life is ;-) (see also photo's). For more organic impressions see also:

The change point themes have lights corresponding a theme. Every 6 hours the light/theme of the change point switches/changes. Cyclists who travel back and forth to their work or school will have an other theme or topic every time they cycle the Ciqlé.

Businessen can contribute with special lanes to their offices/plants or special QR stations along or near their offices/plants. Statements that can be used are Philips: we circle life, DAF circles life e.a. to encourage their employees to cycle to their work.

Cycling the Ciqlé is about choosing life and doing whats best for yourself and each other.

Of course everything is still a sketch (themes, colours, logo Ciqle, Changepoints e.a.) and has to designed propely.

Now only the concept counts ;-)
