This is interesting in that it takes away some functionality from your car (a spare wheel) so in that sense it's similar to the integrated bike rack that Vauxhall do (did?) on some of their models - that too came at the expense of a spare wheel.<br /> I guess this will be an expensive extra.</p> <p>I wonder if it will be any good - it certainly looks like a gimick, but a bike that fits into a spare wheel well is an interesting idea. Anyone know if a Brompton would fit? (depends on the car I guess)</p> <p>The above 'bike' doesn't seem to have pedals, so where does that place it legally? Would it technically be classed as a bicycle in the UK?</p> <p>When Mercedes brought out a folding bike a while back, AtoB got hold of one and were pretty scathing so it will be interesting to see if they cover this.</p> <p>Moulton and Land Rover had some tie in for a while did they not? (I'm sure chdot will confirm). </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=739#post-6325 Fri, 30 Apr 2010 00:06:06 +0000 chdot 6325@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><img src="http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/4/2010/04/microbike.jpg"></p> <p><a href="http://gizmodo.com/5527464/vws-folding-bike-because-two-spare-tires-are-better-than-one" rel="nofollow">http://gizmodo.com/5527464/vws-folding-bike-because-two-spare-tires-are-better-than-one</a> </p>
