I went on a bike ride yesterday and there is a second hand bike shop I pass and I must say the bikes there are generally crap. Hauled out of the dumpster, barely repaired and then set out with a big pricetag. The store itself is amazing. Amazing as in bad. The inside of the store looks like one of those places where the bizarre inhabitant gets found dead buried under the rubble they refused to throw away.

Anyway I went by and out front there was a folding mountain bike that had one decal on it that said Panasonic on it. The bike looked like a department store bike. It had a tag of $130 on it. Probably wasn't worth that new.

Still it's intriguing. Looked several years old as well. Didn't think there were many folding mountain bikes around. I didn't have a camera with me or I'd have snapped a pic. Will try to get around to it but it's big time raining today.

They make electric bikes but I was not aware of any non electric models.

Well, every conceivable bike since 2002. That is: not the tikit.
