First Post: What Kind of Bike is This?
this is my first post, and i know it goes to an ebay auction, but please hear me out.
i have been looking into getting a folding bike to take me to the train station and back. i have looked at bike fridays, dahon, and xootr. but this caught my eye. it is a folding bike with a coskpit and cranks for a kid as well as an adult. does anyone know what kind it is and where i can get one? i dont trust the ebayer:

Looks like a daft idea to me & not much fun for a small child - have you got very long arms ?
There are more practical solutions available for carrying a child on a bike - the dutch are the masters at this.

I have seen such an idea somewhere else... but this bike's geometry seems all wrong. Stay away is what I would do.

I think you would be better off with a regular folder or bike and a trailer bike for the child.

I would buy it for fun value, but not as a serious tool - it'd be likely to disappoint.
