Massive improvement in world folding bike design. The loss of tiny, tiny wheels is a controversial move, but at least it could just about pass for a proper bike on a dark winter commute.

Here's the video, which looks like it was filmed in the hallway of the company's managing director's £200,000 apartment in Milton Keynes.

We're sure it's not an exaggeration to suggest that this could be the greatest thing mankind has ever produced. We don't even care that it looks like it'd crumple if you took it faster than 20 miles an hour, we want one to add to our collection of silly bikes we never ride and will eventually have to sell when our parents want their garage back.

Coming soon

  • Err... bikes have things called derailleurs? Apart from track bikes, which don't.

If derailleurs evolved from fixies, how come there are still fixies?

  • Survival of the fixest.
