The Backpack Bicycle
This bicycle weighs only 12 lbs! And it folds to a volume of only 1 cubic foot!! And then it stores in a backpack!!!
You can transport it easily on public transportation, in a suitcase, or an airplane’s overhead compartment. I know so many people who could use this, taking your bike around on the subway isn’t any fun for anybody.
You can buy The Backpack Bicycle at Hammacher Schlemmer.
“The bicycle has quick release clamps, allowing you to fold or unfold the device in 10 seconds, and the frame is made from an aluminum alloy that has a level of impact resistance comparable to aircraft-grade aluminum. The efficient, dual chain drive transmission propels the bicycle up to 15 mph, and the chains are entirely enclosed, ensuring trouser cuffs will not snag or become dirty when riding. The pneumatic brakes allow confident stops, the wheels have die-cast aluminum hubs and 6″ rubber tires, and the bicycle supports me n or women over 5′ tall. Supports up to 200 lbs. Includes backpack. Unfolded: 37″ H x 16 1/2″ W x 35″ L. Folded: 26″ H x 6″ W x 12″ L.”
