vowe's got a brand new toy
by Volker Weber
Two weeks ago I solved a very serious problem for a friend of ours. It took me two days to get it finally done. And it would have been worth weeks of work. Usually I do this kind of work pro bono. I have done this many times when I created web sites for friends or when fixing their computers, installing software for them or giving away computers I no longer needed. My friends say "thank you", or "vowe is a good mother". I tell them to pay forward, i.e. do good things to other people.
This time something extraordinary happened: I was paid back. With something I have been longing for for quite a while. A folding bike with full suspension and excellent components as you find them on a racing bike. It is tiny when folded, so it will fit in both our cars:
Folding it takes only a few seconds as you can see in this video. And this is what it looks like when it is assembled. This is by far the best bike I ever owned. Thank you ever so much. For the bike and for the recognition of my work.

[x] send pics driving with it ;)
Hey, Volker,
in order to prevent dirt to get into the trunk of your car, I suggest putting it in a 15" notebook bag while not in use :-)
congrats to this nice little gimmick!
Now I know that was the real reason for not wanting a mini. Nice toy. What will be the right colour for a helmet?
After watching the video, only one thing I would suggest, mark the pipe of the saddle so you know when you unfold the bike which was the right and comfortable heights of the saddle.
It is marked. And it does fit into the Mini trunk.
Still waiting for Utes pictures while you are riding that bike.
Please ...
Waiting for the pictures, too!
I was a little afraid that when I clicked on "new toy", you were referring to that bouncer stool... :-)
