I love bike riding; there is something about it that is so freeing. But I don’t love it enough to always do it, as when you have to get off your bike--it is a pain to lug it around with you. The Switch Commuter Bike seems to solve all these problems.
Created by Australian student designer Robert Dumaresq, this concept has already won gold at the Australian International Design Awards. The bike folds to the size of one wheel in one smooth movement, the Switch Commuter Bike is both durable and fast.
