saw this in GizMag
The Contortionist (http://www.jamesdysonaward.org/Projects/Project.aspx?ID=912&RegionId=0&Winindex=0) is 24-year-old Dominic Hargreaves’ entry in the UK sector’s James Dyson Awards, an international design award that “celebrates, encourages and inspires the next generation of design engineers.”http://www.gizmag.com/contortionist-folding-bike/12470/
The cool thing is that it rolls very handy behind you on both 26" big wheels when you have to go into the commuter train or into a building? .

and looks almost like a normal bike? when unfolded? He seems to be a MTB enthusiast so the seat/saddle is very low?

Would be cool to see how he has done it? Maybe a DIY project for those who are handy?
Video of it on the Gizmag site and on youtube too
