Folding bikes are all well and good when we come across those numerous ‘cool’ advertisements, but in reality they can sometimes be a nuisance in relation to their folding process, especially when people use them for the first time. But an entry in the Seoul Cycle Design Competition 2010, conceived by one Hyijoong Rhie, sought to vehemently rectify that.
This folding bike is imbued with a central circular axis. Unlocking and rotating that axis would literally allow the bike to shift into a convenient ‘shape’. In this posture, the seat and the wheels make an optimum angle with the axis, so that the bike can be rested as a tripod.
This tripod incorporates a ‘void’, through which one could easily slip his hand and carry it upon his shoulders. Or he could even drag it by the wheels just like a traveling suitcase. It’s a completely zero emission mode of transportation that we can actually carry along with ourselves through the drudgery filled congested traffic areas.
