In this talk, I will present some applications of convex integration — the tool used in order to prove the celebrated Nash-Kuiper theorem. I will show how convex integration can be used to describe parallel parking explicitly, what it has to do with an optimality question related to a „coin trick“ and how it leads to the construction of knots with prescribed curvature.
