You will be suprised, nay AGHAST, to learn that a waft of editorial study is brushed over this presentément of the finest bicycle videos known to humanity, and that the inclusion of a stupid purple bovine product with huge testicles did not make it past the first water-cooler sessions. It's just too annoying: Mr Testis! Whaaaaaaaaaaaat?

Here then is a proper folding bike viddy, of the utterly bonkers Bickerton Bunch, riding their annoying bicycles on a wooden road. The viddy is enlivened by what might be a Moulton, mid-vid, but otherwise, the apotheosis of the Bickerton as anything more than a recycled bear-trap must be firmly discouraged.

Question; how many Bickertons can you get into a four-person elevator? The answer unfortunately, is here:

And: the final one for today: how to ride a folding bike while it's still folded. How annoying is that?

What a load of bull.........................

Is it fair game to post one's own video? It's not annoying in the least. At least not to me, anyway.

My son (he's the cute one in the back) and I on a Downtube converted to a recumbent with a Cruzbike kit.

Say, Snafu, how do you do dat embedding thing with the videos?

Sue might be asleep .. but here you go old pal!

Reeling from the shock of seeing the formerly sane Sesame Crunch dragging grooves in the tarmac with his gluteus maximus, we must now travel to Singapore. Here, bicycles are going to save us from Global Warming, and everything. The viddy makes salient points; bikes are not allowed on public transport during peak hours, which is like banning water supplies during a drought - and getting people out of their cars is nigh on impossible. That's quite annoying, actually. Not the car thing, the bicycles on trains thing.

Crouch End? No, it's not a medical term, but a London Suburb where LittlePixel (TM) lives. Here we see him riding like a giddy kipper through the streets of the Old Smoke, his contrails misting up the windshields of cars behind him. Naturally, he's doing this on a Raleigh 20, a re-cycled cycle he may have stolen from my mum.

Contains strange panting sounds, near-death-experiences as he scrapes past car doors, and annoying windy noises. Estimated speed? 60 miles per hour. That's quite annoying.

To London now, in our world tour of the Wonderful World of Folding Bicycles. Today, the London Cycle Hire Scheme launches, after weeks of hyperbole. For only several hundred pounds an hour, riders can hire a huge behemoth of a bicycle, stuffed with silly electronics. They're great, in every sense, although annoyingly, they don't fold:

From London, with its ugly blue rent-a-behemoth scheme, to Geneva, in Switzerland. Here the Swiss Folding Society have quaint little days out with their little bicycles . It's all rather, er, Swiss. Found by our own delightful Folder Fanatic here's what the Swiss do in their annoyingly pretty little country:

Not quite a folding bike (other than the fact that it pivots under the cargo box.
Cool video of a Haley Trike with Sara and Stephen in Philly.
I love these because the prototype was built in my courtyard in Savannah, GA when Stephen helped us restore our 1873 house.

Many of you will know me as the 'Droxford Bullet', a very English epithet as I'm the slowest rider in er, Droxford. I attribute my success in always being at the back of the peloton to training on rollers with my Dahon. The low step-thru height is perfect for riding the parabolicals. But here, annoyingly, our rider has not wholly committed to the ethos of folders, and the only outcome is repeated doom and hilarity:



If you have a Frike Bridey, THIS is the way to do it:

I want a bike the changes color from light green to orange, the blue and back to green!

Here are a few from Abio bikes...
