Material Worlds
New

Light as air or hard as steel

What materials can do: Pedals, a saddle and handlebars come together to form a whole bicycle. But what is each part made of, and how are these components manufactured?

Guided Tour
Every day, we use a wide range of materials – often without realising where they come from or how they are shaped into their final form. A bicycle offers a hands-on way to explore different production techniques such as welding and moulding. There’s also plenty to learn about the materials themselves: Rubber, for instance, is harvested from rubber trees, and recycled plastic granulate can be melted down and reshaped.
