Student inventor Dominic Hargreaves has invented a foldup bike as small as a bike wheel. Labelled, the Contortionist, his prototype invention has been shortlisted for this year’s James Dyson Award for innovation.
Dominic’s site is at eyetohand – good luck to him.
This design seems to have got an immense amount of publicity. Personally it would take a lot to convince me that a folding monoblade front fork is safe.
Seen a lot of coverage of this recently – it looks really good – great to see people rethinking the concept of a folding bike. I plan on putting together bit of a roundup of these cool new bike techs soon – thanks for reminding me to cover this one!
Looks brilliant, good luck to him.
