Inflatable bike from Ford.

[Cycleops]

Ford have been issued a patent for their Inflatable bike design. What do you think?

Because what's needed is more puncture opportunities.

Hasn't April the 1st passed?

That video makes a brompton look like the Occam's razor solution.

It's also worth noting that there are 'Ford' Branded bicycle shaped objects in the Argos Catalogue, if these are any guide, I'd not want to mess about with an inflatable BSO...

Load of hot air

Too much chance of going wrong for me I'm affraid..

 

[Gravity Aided]

Something like that may be doable, but I doubt if I'd trust Ford to do it. That thing, an accident with that could be extraordinarily serious. A liability lawyers' dream.

There's no way they could make that frame stiff enough to resemble anything like a normal rideable bike.

Inflatable bike - The whole new meaning to getting a puncture. ^^

At least it won't need emergency air-bags.

I'd be slightly more interested if they actually made one. Drawings and statements of intent make for great headlines, but little more.

 

[Gravity Aided]

Perhaps Ford could spend more time getting the cars right, and leave the bicycle folding biz to Brompton.

There is something wrong with the boot on that Micra

Yup. It's empty and not full of stuff! That might just be my Micra though

Do you think Tannus will produce a version with solid tubes?
