# Wall-Melting Cycles The Graham Hill 'ThinBike' Conveniently Folds Flat By Meghan Young | Published 2010-08-14 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/graham-hill-thinbike References: [psfk](http://www.psfk.com/2010/08/thinbike-folds-flat-to-save-space.html) & [schindelhauerbikes](http://www.schindelhauerbikes.com/#/en/) Bike owners around the world, the Graham Hill 'ThinBike' has been conceived just for you. As a fellow cyclist, I love my ratty ol' bike so much that I keep it safe and sound in the sanctuary that is my humble home. Yet it takes up a lot of unnecessary space. The Graham Hill 'ThinBike' solves this jutting predicament. The handlebar and pedals cleverly fold flat to rest neatly against a wall. However, convenience doesn't come cheap, as the full-sized, single-speed bike costs $1,800. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.0/10 - Popularity: 56% | Activity: 57% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Space-saving Bikes:** The Graham Hill 'ThinBike' has paved the way for a growing demand for bikes that can fold flat or be hung up to save space. - **Minimalist, Single-speed Bikes:** The simplicity and affordability of a single-speed bike, like the Graham Hill 'ThinBike', are attracting more riders who prioritize ease and function over features. - **Luxury Foldable Bikes:** There is a growing trend of high-end bikes, like the $1,800 Graham Hill 'ThinBike', that prioritize aesthetics and convenience for urban riders who value style and quality. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Bicycle Manufacturing:** The success of the Graham Hill 'ThinBike' highlights opportunities for bike manufacturers to produce more compact, stylish, and convenient models to attract urban riders who prioritize space and design. - **Urban Transportation:** As more people move to cities and seek sustainable and efficient modes of transit, the demand for bikes as a primary or secondary mode of transportation is rising, creating opportunities for companies to develop innovative bike models and infrastructure. - **Smart Home Technology:** As bikes become a more common household item, there is opportunity for tech companies to develop smart home solutions like wall mounts and storage solutions to accommodate the growing demand for space-saving bikes. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Collapsible Belt-Driven Commuter Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/priority-folder.md) - [Folding Urban E-Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folding-urban-ebike.md) - [Compact Collapsible Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/collapsible-bike.md) - [Custom-Made Foldable Titanium Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minivelo.md) - [Stylized Foldable E-Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gocycle-g4i.md) - [Compact Foldable City Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pop-cycle.md) - [Stylish Space-Saving Exercise Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/theo-exercise-bike.md) - [German Foldable Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fold-hybrid.md) - [Miniature Foldable Electric Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tatamel.md)
