Folding bikes seamlessly tie in with all transportation modes as they are specifically designed to be compact, stowable and therefore easily TRANSPORTABLE. Easily carried onto trains, planes, buses, trams and other automobiles.
There've been many attempts to create the perfect folder, some designs have come very close and have remained in production for decades. The world of folders spans incredible genius tier feats of engineering to terrible examples of dangerously ill conceived death trap folly.
Post yours here, or post examples that may be of interest for their engineering genius, aesthetic charm or worthiness of ridicule.

Anyone good with old bikes? I intend to buy this one (auction website) for 20 bucks.
First i wonder what the brand on it is because i have no clue.
Second, it has been stored for probably decades inside. The gearing feels fine, no rust there and i can feel some oil gunge there.

The end of ebike terrorism is in sight. Let's not count our chickens before they hatch, but I'm tentatively feeling hopefully about this. During the time that the last thread was up, hundreds of people were killed by ebike fires. We need to put a stop to this. I just hope they make sure to add prison time for people caught with unlicensed ebikes.

This stuff is ancient but I hope that it wasn't posted here before:
The construction of the Japanese Shinkanzen high-speed rails, form 1964.

Both the footage and the tempo if that of the '60s, so do NOT expect some twitch footage and on point editing.
But, I think you all would appreciate it, or - at least - should see this!
ps: use auto-subtitles. While at some point it it definitely an 'eh', it is better than nothing.
