“Only addressing one reason for delays” would still meet the brief of the project. Per the OP, “the design brief is to "create a product that reduces delays on bike travel".” So the project is 1) identify a cause of delays, 2) develop a product to reduce that delay. The brief does not say “eliminate all delays.”
What’s wrong with non-pneumatic tires? It would reduce at least one cause of delays, and so meet the brief. Only problem being that they already exist.
