The main things that need improving are the handlebars are too short, and so is the seatpost!

It gets comments from people everywhere you go, and is a great conversation starter. Would be very useful for anyone wanting to attract the ladies ;-)

Does anyone else here have one yet? What do you think?

It's a niche to be sure, and it'll be interesting to see if it's big enough to make the A-bike a go-er. I must admit, I won't be rushing out to buy one.</p> Yeah, I think the “carry it around on your arm like an umbrella” line gives away the intention: it’s a back-up bike for those times when you’d say “if I had my bike with me I could be there and back in 5 minutes”.

But it might be ok for short trips, which is probably what it was designed for.</p> It’s a nice idea, but I think the small wheels would make it a bit of a dodgy proposition on anything but the smoothest of pavements.
