Contortionist Folding Bike Nominated for Design Award
September 1, 2009 | Levent OZLER
Do you tear your hair out when you have to wait for the next tube because you can't fit your bike on the one that's just pulled in?
Well thanks to a young designer that could be a thing of the past.
Because young designer Dominic Hargreaves has created a fold-up bike which has been shortlisted for the £10,000 James Dyson Award.
The 24-year-old developed the Contortionist, which folds between the circumference of its 26inch wheels and can be pulled by one of its handlebars, for commuters.
Once folded the bike cannot fold back on its self while riding and the wheels rotate when folded up so the folded package can be wheeled along rather having to be carried.
