Dominic Hargreaves has designed a bike which can be folded so well that it would fit into its wheel’s 26 inch circumference. The bike, called the Contortionist has been shortlisted for James Dyson Awards. If Dominic wins the prize, he may take home £10,000. The guy is from Battersea in London and is all of 24 years.
He was reported as saying he was tired of other foldable bikes which neither look good nor perform properly. This bike here, called The Contortionist will definitely change the way people will ride bicycles and it is expected to be manufactured even, if it gains a prize. Dominic has already contacted many manufacturers and the design has been quite popular among many manufacturers.
This may help the bike in being manufactured. It would be extremely great to have this as people would stop using polluting vehicles if they have something easy and portable to carry around, which would also allow them to travel within the city. The bike certainly can fold into weird positions, and is thus The Contortionist.
