With all the ‘bicycle’-related posts you’d think I was some sort of gear head…which is not the case.  And while we have our fair share of spandex-clad riders…I just dig cool shiz.

Which brings us to this Mark Sanders-designed folding bicycle.  Obviously, it’s cool…but at a cool $2550, it’s a hefty investment.  Moreover…is there a need for folding bikes? 

Designers not only have a responsibility to creating functional and dynamic tools for living…they are also responsible for answering this question:  do people really need this? 

I guess I’m still lingering over yesterday’s post below re: The Bamboo Bicycle Studio and their take at reinventing the urban commute vs. this hi-tech solution. 

But then again…I’m not that into bikes.
