When a Printmaker and Bike Builder Join Forces, a 'Printing Press Bike' Emerges

BRISTOL, UK—July 23, 2014—Printmaker Nick Hand's passion for printing is about to take him on an incredible month-long journey from Bristol to Germany—to the birthplace of Johannes Gutenberg, the inventor of the Gutenberg press.

Robin Mather, who builds custom-made bikes, worked with Hand to create a bike that could carry a fully functioning printing press on the back. According to the BBC, both men plan to take the journey and have already begun fundraising £8,000 for the trip.
