Note:

For this collaboration, Odili Donald Odita transforms a Cannondale Synapse Carbon 4 bicycle into an exploration of color, movement, and energy. Known for his vibrant abstract compositions that investigate relationships between pattern, perception, and cultural history, Odita approaches the bicycle as a natural extension of his artistic practice- an object defined by motion.

Odita describes color as “energy: something that moves as a force across a surface.” Through his design, he brings this dynamic understanding of color into a new context, transforming a functional object into a work that bridges art, design, and movement.

Created in support of the American Association for Cancer Research and the Philadelphia Cycling Classic, this one-of-a-kind bicycle reflects Odita’s belief in the power of art to bring people together in support of meaningful causes.
