Folders! Foldable bicycles, minivelos and demontables

I quite like how this one looks! Wouldn't be a great ride but cool to look at.


All this talk about "when did bike technology peak?"....Simple, whenever the bike below was born! In all seriousness though, it is cool to see what people have created. I'd love to make something unique up like that.

I want you to listen very carefully…

Where…. Did… you …find … this … beautiful … thing?

Because I want it….

It is an Araya Micro Hurry. They seldom come up for sale. Ey op, back in day, they were about £250 (1977), which is £1.3k in todays spondulix!

Loving the thread.

Some look like death traps, some look built for dwarfs, some really well put together to be pulled apart.

I dislike even the concept of a foldable bike, but this one is a nice solution, good engineering, compact, and seems a proper bike too.

As soon as I saw that, Trimble-esque came to mind. I love the rotor too! I wonder how much of a market there is for something so premium, folding and pricey. I'll need to read up about their brand some more
