Collapsible Bicycle by Kevin Scott



It’s not often that I could see such a revolutionary design yet it is not just a concept. This bike design from Kevin Scott is a bendable bicycle that you can literally wrap around a lamp post or a pole. It certainly will stop thieves from targeting your bike. The young Industrial Designer used a ratchet system built into the frame of the bike to make it possible to wrap the bike around a pole. The bike bends to lock onto itself, there’s no need for a chain, a regular bike lock will be able to secure the frame and both wheels. His main objective was not just to secure all bike’s components within the lock, but also to allow the bike to be stored in small spaces. A very cool bike design, indeed!



Ville Folding Bike Doubles As A Shopping Cart


Bicycle Friendly Communities are growing. There are great reasons for this trend, bicycle is the most energy efficient form of transportation known to man, it’s eco friendly, and it provides a great form of exercise. Ville is an urban folding bicycle that answers the urban commuter needs. It incorporates a folding design that allows for easy storage while not in use. But, there’s one cool thing about this bike compared to other folding bikes. When folded, Ville also doubles as a cart. Very cool, huh? You can go grocery shopping and let this bike be your cart. This allows the bicycle to stay with you and avoiding the need to leave the bike unattended, reducing the risk for theft.
