Retrofit Folding Handlebars by Joe Wentworth.




-2nd prize of the contest 'Power to pedal' by Design21 the Retrofit Folding Handlebars designed by Joe Wentworth.
from designer own words: "To increase the number of cyclists, we need to remove as many hurdles as possible. Two major problems with urban cycling are bike storage and security, both of which are addressed by my retrofit folding handlebar design."
A pretty smart way to address those issue ..folding the handlebar would "lock" the bike by locking the front wheel ,reducing in the same time the space needed to store it.
you can check the video here
Thanks Ronan ;)
