You know you want one #2


The A-bike (here) is supposedly the world's smallest and lightest folding bike. It weighs 12 pounds and costs 300 bucks. Wonder how it handles descending a 15 degree hill at 35 mph? Why don't you see bikes like these, or recumbents for that matter, in any of those "Cranked"- type extreme cycling videos? We've mused over how cool it would be to see someone ride a couch bike down one of those gnarly Norshore Vancouver trails or Kamloops bluffs. I think the A-Bike would be the next step up from that, skills-wise...

Might be a good bike for "Jackass III"

I can see Jonny Knoxville or one of those other dick slaps wrapping their nads around the top tube/stem thingy on this rig and then getting a good laugh out of it. Quality entertainment.

there's gotta be a suspension somewhere in that thing, with those little rollerblade wheels. this looks like about as much fun as a punch in the kidneys. i expect to see one at decays house before the end of the week.
