The 'Contortionist' - Folding Bike

Folding bikes seem to be all the rage at the moment, attracting commuting businessmen and women all over the UK not to mention other budding bicyclists! One bike in particular seems to have caught the attention of many - The Contortionist. Designed by 24 year old Dominic Hargreaves, who graduated from the Royal College of Art, The Contortionist has a unique selling point - the fact that all its components can be folded to fit to the circumference of the 26 inch wheel. Mr Hargreaves hopes that the bike will soon go on the market for around £400. The Contortionist has also been shortlisted for the James Dyson award for international design. Good luck to Dominic!
