Comments on: The “Yike Bike” – another take on folding bicycles? http://foldingbikesale.com/yike-bike-another-folding/ folding bikes are fun, frugal, keep you fit and are good for the environment, too!

In London, I can see the thing working, but out here in So Cal, where municipalities do or don't repair streets at whim, it could be a problem. But he was also going a bit faster than most bicyclists and that could throw drivers off (thinking they have more time to cut him off than they actually do.) I get cut off all the time even in supposedly pedestrian-friendly Claremont, and I've survived them not only because God protects me but because I'm going too slow--I have time to react.
