Kwiggle Bike


The Kwiggle Folding Bike, The World's Most Compact Folding Bike
Kwiggle Bike

A fine tool to help you survive big city commuting, commuting that has become more like trench warfare than civilized transportation. Herded like cattle into cramped, disease ridden quarters, with the added occasional bonus of a psychopath running amok. Then you add a small, complicated, expensive gizmo that provides no protection from the weather and a miserable ride over anything but perfect, smooth surfaces.

A folding bike should fold and unfold at the touch of a button. It should fold up into a box with a handle and wheels so you can drag it around behind you, like a suitcase. This one does have a handle and wheels, but criminently it's a bicycle, it already has two wheels, you shouldn't need to add two more wheels.

I also don't understand why the front fork is backwards. Seems like a bad idea, but maybe with those little bittle wheels it doesn't make any difference.

I must have woke up on the wrong side of the bed today. Normally folding bikes strike me as great devices, but today I am kind of down on them. Might be because of someone in the Federal government telling people to ride the bus instead of driving their car, and someone ranting in response about how useless buses are.
