The dangerously flimsy Backpack Bicycle for the extremely confident cyclist
http://techdigest.tv/ 2008/ 07/ the_dangerously.html
The dangerously flimsy Backpack Bicycle for the extremely confident cyclist Fancy trusting your life to a piece of plastic no thicker than a pencil as you weave in and out of buses, taxis, alpha males in white vans, lumps of broken glass from previous cyclist-crushings and pot holes? That's supposed to be a rhetorical question, but if you just nodded "Yes" here's the solution to ending the life you're so very tired of - the Backpack Bicycle. It's designer Chang Ting Jen's entry in the International Bicycle Design competition. The orange is nice, we'll give him that.

ELSEWHERE ON "THE NETWORK" #00030
http://www.ukresistance.co.uk/2008/07/elsewhere-on-network-0...Yes, still allowed to put words on the internet. Often with accompanying images, too. The passwords have not been changed.

According to the specs, a production version would weigh around 12 pounds and fold into a backpack that measured just under 2 feet in length. Naturally, that means that you could pick up and carry your bike around just about anywhere. [...]
