A New Class

This semester is the first time I have taught Hand Drawing Bicycles for Designers and Engineers. Next semester it is: Hand Drawing Bicycles for Designers, Scientists and Engineers.

In the course we anchor drawings in a bikepacking adventure each student chooses. Next semester we will add geomorphology and within this we will learn to translate Topo maps to geological cross-sections and topographic profiles (2D and 3D).

They'll be taking a Topo map from their route and translate those into hand-drawn profiles.

If you've never done it, it's a blast to draw a route you've taken this way.
