Want a transportation solution you can stuff up your nostril? Sir Clive Sinclair (http://www.jamd.com/search?assettype=g&assetid=71423159&text=folding+bicycle) wowed onlookers with a bicycle small enough to be hidden in body orifices.

Sir Clive said: "My original thought was that if you could have a bicycle that was dramatically lighter and more compact than ones that exist today, you would change the way in which bicycles could be used."

Instead of being used for mere 'cycling', the A-Bike finds a niche in colonic endoscopy.
