This unusual bike was designed in the UK, and is manufactured by STRiDA in Columbus, Ohio. The MAS is their newest--and fastest--model to date, featuring a lightweight, rust-proof aluminum frame that folds down in five seconds flat.
Weighing only 22 pounds, the bike's triangular shape allows it to collapse quickly but maintain a a high degree of stability. The Kevlar chain makes the Swiss engineered, two-speed drive system run smoothly without the use of grease.
When folded down, the MAS can be rolled along like a tiny stroller or carried in a large duffel bag. At $1,400, this machine isn't cheap, but it should provide years of on-demand transportation--for those times you don't have a Velib handy.
