Contortionist bike folds to the size of a wheel

A design student has created a folding bike which shrinks down to the size of just one wheel.

Dominic Hargreaves came up with The Contortionist bike because he couldn't find a folding bike which he could have fun riding and became small enough to store.

But now the designer could be left quids in after his invention was shortlisted for the James Dyson Award for innovation, which comes with a prize of £10,000.

His design uses a collapsable aluminium frame and while I could try to explain how it folds you are probably better off just checking out the video after the link.
