A bicycle made from oak, a light-reflective spray and a minimal compass that pairs with a smartphone app are among Dezeen social media editor Ross Bryant's favourite cycling-related designs this year.

BeeLine bicycle compass by MAP

London design duo Barber and Osgerby's creative consultancy MAP designed the minimal BeeLine compass to help cyclists find their way without being distracted by smartphone maps.
It uses GPS to point cyclists through the city via a single arrow on its LCD interface and comes with a silicon strap that clips onto the handlebars. Find out more about MAP's BeeLine »

The Hummingbird by Hummingbird Bike Company

Weighing in at just 6.5 kilograms, this carbon-fibre bicycle is lighter than the average watermelon. The Hummingbird Bike Company even described the design as the "world's lightest" folding cycle when it was launched in November. The back wheel and handlebars of the bike fold under the frame, and the seat post can be lowered for carrying. Find out more about the Hummingbird »

Wooden bike by Niko Schmutz

One of the most popular bicycle designs of 2015 comprised a three-piece wooden frame. Each of the concentric diamond-shaped strips of oak was shaped by designer Niko Schmutz to absorb vibration on uneven urban roads.
According to Schmutz, wood is similar to metal in terms of rigidity and is less susceptible to cracking or denting. Find out more about Niko Schmutz's wooden bicycle »
