I like the super long leaf spring seatpost on the Vialle Velastic (image 6) but the bike looks like it weighs a hundred pounds. Probably a very smooth ride.

I like the folding bike in the bike box that doubles as a trailer.

There is a Bob Jackson trike up on the eBay UK site right now for some ridiculously low price. If shipping wasn't going to cost the very eyes from my head, I would totally try to get it.

Image 9 must win the prize for worst folding bike ever.

Quote:

This folding bicycle has been nicknamed the Inconnu (Unknown) and apparently takes around one hour to fold. Oddly enough, once folded the bicycle needs to be towed as it forms a trailer which is flatter and broader than the bike itself. The designer and manufacturer remain anonymous.

It looks like some sort of Steampunk piece made out of spare parts from the plumbing isle of Home Depot as well.

Yeah, that one was ridiculous. It's like the Rubik's Cube of folding bikes.
