Here’s a bicycle that won’t make you look plain silly

I beg to differ.

A bike with built in storage could be a good idea but then you've got to find somewhere to keep a large brief case. And does the ability to fold it into the case mean that it has poor riding characteristics - could be lethal in the wind that we've had recently.

"Here’s a bicycle that won’t make you look plain silly while decked up in your sophisticated office wear."

You reckon?

And if your office wear is as sophisticated as that, astonishing are you doing on such a rubbish bike? That inadequate back mudguard means you'll have road muck plastered right up your jacksie.

Yet another "snazzy"and "Kuhlllll" design concept thats as much use as the proverbial chocolate fireguard

Edit:- and I've no doubt it'll be grossly over priced.

BTW what happened to the Paper bike,I know its still made in ever decreasing small quantities but how many do/did they sell?

Anyone remember Inspector Gadget?

yes, i've no doubt it's utter crap. i didn't even like riding a brompton and they're meant to be well regarded.

what interests me most is that to fit in that case, presumably the cranks must come off? now, that's not an especially easy job whether annually or once a decade on a proper bike, whether square taper or cottered. what'll happen to the rider in their office garb having to do it 4 times a day, and yet still be secure when riding?

Nice concept, but final product needs refinement. Honestly, I think it is a bit of a fashion faux pas considering that you are attempting to conceal your bicycle as a brief-case. Why by ashamed of the fact that you pedal to work? If I hand a folding bicycle for the office I'd take a brompton any day and fold it up under my desk. Then I can convert my fellow employees into cyclists by pointint out how convenient it is to have one and how easy it is to store it!

If this is the finished article and not just a prototype, it doesn't stand a chance. It's hideous!
