What the fuck?
Its just a fucking bike! There's absolutely nothing special about it. Thin bike? No thinner than any other fucking bike.
Now I'm going to watch the video.

Just watched enough to know the 'inventor' is on some kind of mood lifting medication. Too high a dose.
Storeflat headsets and folding pedals have been around for ages. They don't justify crouching down next to your bike with eyes like saucers talking excitedly like you've just unravelled the genome sequence.

- huh? he wasn't talking excitedly, he was just explaining it normally.iCanHasQBN
- Yeah, yeah sure he was.Horp

@Horp - Not just you...
I wanted to share something I thought was creative, and I get a string of almost all negative comments finding ways to tear it down. If it's been done before, give me a link. If you aren't interested, move on.

You wanted to share something you thought was creative. I get that. I understand the desire to share something creative. I would NEVER be negative in the face of an attempt to share something creative.
But what if I, and others like me, don't agree with that this is something creative and worth sharing?
What if we're older than your 20 odd years of age and have seen these things before?
Are we allowed to point that out to you? Or does that transgress the rules of free speech...
- you were pointing it out, but you were being a complete dick about it.iCanHasQBN
- I think you are being a complete dick about it for calling me out on it.Horp
- someone on qbn thinks i'm a dick?! get in line...iCanHasQBN
- What a vain and moronic thing to say.Horp
- ahahahahahaha @ you calling another person "vain".iCanHasQBN
- by way of a reply: ah hahahahahahaha at whatever you just said.Horp
- Are you blind to what i was implying? Come on, I know you're not THAT dense.iCanHasQBN

Those Moulton bikes are cool in their own way, but I think the point was to not have a goofy looking tiny-wheeled bike.

"I don't know why you think I'm a 20-something fixie-riding hipster just for posting an interesting concept"
I don't think that because you posted about this unremarkable bike made from mail order parts, I know it because it exudes from every nuance of the words that you type.

- My god. Does it come with a satchel?iCanHasQBN
- Is there someone on here who has been singing the virtues of this bikes aesthetics then?Horp
- I must say that even though i feel like running over every hipster on a fixie that i see, I'd take the white bike over this one._niko
- Oh me too, my point was only that Moulton have been doing flattening components for many years, as have many other companies.Horp
