Foldable Bicycles: How Real Today?

via�Yanko Design�by Chris Burns on 3/27/09

Perhaps you�d enjoy such a thing? Consider the following: not from the Twilight Zone, but for your approval: folding bikes. Seen any lately? At Yanko, we�ve had several. Lots of them have parallel features, the most common being the amount of collapsing the bike does. With this most recent inception into the folding hall, the �Antares Lift,� we get front stem, handle bars, seat, and back wheel, all folding up into the bike.

Above:��Antares Lift� by Hideki Kawata. It�s folded shape is inspired by a tear drop and an orchid leaf. Single-speed drive, LED lights. To fold the bike: lift up center latch and let the wheels roll together to click.
