The main reason many people don’t bike is because the bicycle is not storage friendly. Who wants to lug a bicycle around and leave it outside to get vandalized or worst stolen. One 24 year old student solved that problem. Dominic Hargreaves from Battersea, London, has nicknamed his new bike, the Contortionist. You can fold your bike and bring it in just about anyplace. There have been folding bikes in the past, many not able to handle the pressure of vigorous manhandling and easily broke. Not the Contortionist, it easily folds in 20 seconds and is able to handle tough terrain and stay in one piece and look cool at the same time. Dominic is literally trying to pedal his novel idea to bicycle manufacturers. As you will notice the bicycle is chain-less, this might be a deterrent for those craving speed.
