Cultural probe (1)

This morning I spoke with Nic about the cultural probe. He's also interested in using a cultural probe. His topic is looking at designing a particular style of bike, and doesn't have a specific user in mind. One of his ideas for getting participants is to hang around at motorbike parks at 5pm when work finishes, and hand out a business card to riders. I've been wondering how I'll get participants and maybe I could do something similar... 

We also talked about the different materials contained within the cultural probe. He might use a disposable camera, cards with specific imagery that the user can comment on. I do not want to use a disposable camera because my project is about avoiding waste, so I will need to find a way to get the user to use their phone or own camera...
