A Bendable Bike

bendable bikeI am alsways looking for new ideas that will make greener forms of transportation easier and last week I found a great one.  This may seem like an odd concept, but in big cities, where bikes locked with massive chains routinely dissapear, what better way to keep your bike from being stolen than to use it as the lock.  Now, I am not too sure how this works, or how well it rides, but the idea behind this bendable bike is genius.  Kevin Scott’s bike simply bends around a post and the two wheels and the frame can all be locked together with a U lock.  In order to make the bike bendable when needed and stable when being ridden, a crank tightens a cable inside the frame.  The next step will be to incorporate the lock so that the bike can just lock to itself.  But for now, what a cool invention.
