The A-Bike Breaks Records
Named after the shape of its telescopic black-and-silver frame. The A-Bike designed by Sir Clive Sinclair is the lightest and smallest folding bicycle in the world. Weighing 12.6 lbs (5.6kg) and claiming to fold down in under 10 seconds, the A-Bike bike could be a great bike for certain people. “The principle use for the A-bike is city or town travel over relatively short journeys but also very much for mixed-mode journeys where you're hopping on and off a bus or a train. For example a typical commuter needs to get from home to local station and then from destination to his or her office – and all without any worries about portability, parking or security "
