Hi
Quite a while ago, I published a free-download cycling game, and put in a bit of effort making 2d tokens for it.
Here is an early blog post about it. It was written up in
Anki Toner's cycling boardgames website about
9 years ago. I haven't really thought about it much since then, except that when I got my 3d printer I had the idea to design some 3d printed tokens to go with the boardgame.
Early this year while on holidays I had the chance to start on it, and I have been surprising and annoying my wife Christine by coming up with a series of 1:25 or 1mm:1 inch tokens to suit the game. I will load them onto Thingiverse tonight so anyone with a 3d printer and internet connection can make them.
Sofar I have made versions of
Step through Town Bike
Diamond Frame Bike
Recumbent Trike
Upright Trike
Folding Bike
Front Wheel Drive Highracer
Velomobile
At some stage I plan to extend this set and make versions of a Vi Voung Python and one of my front wheel trikes which are at least reasonable at
long distance touring and
load carrying. But this can wait a bit.
Meanwhile, files are uploaded to Thingiverse, here is the
