Note: This innovative design is part of a highly anticipated bike accessory contest hosted by Pinshape and Formlabs. Have you ever craved an invigorating bike ride on a scorching hot day only to feel like you're melting under the intense sunlight? We've got just the solution for adventurous cyclists who refuse to let the elements get in their way! With these ingenious, easy-to-print pieces, you can seamlessly attach a standard beach umbrella to your bike, basking in continuous shade that follows you wherever you ride. Plus, if you have a waterproof beach umbrella, you can enjoy carefree rides even on rainy days! And that's not all - this clever design also enables you to transport your beach umbrella securely by bike when heading to the beach. This adaptable accessory is adjustable to suit various bike angles, ensuring a snug fit every time. All you need are five M4x12mm screws and nuts to get started. Begin by adjusting the angle and mounting the center screw first. The system features two distinct supports: one with a hole (upper support) and another without (lower support). To print this design, I used 0.2mm layer thickness, 30% infill for enhanced durability, and omitted supports altogether. Experience the thrill of cycling in comfort and style, shielded from harsh sunburns! Don't forget to share your excitement if you love it!
