The only folding bike everyone part-folds as a matter of course. Flicking the back wheel underneath allows the bike to rest on its three little rollers (four, if you fit the rear rack).
My super clean Brompton S6L didn't stay standard for very long! The standard pedals were swapped for my SPDs; the foam grips, while quite nicely shaped, made way for Ergon GP1s; the handlebars were changed for carbon fibre risers along with a stem extension; a pair of bar ends added more reach; and the brake levers became my vintage Dia Compe SS5s. The two plastic cone-shaped rollers turned into Eazy Wheels, and an aluminium frame over the rear wheel carries two more Eazy Wheels for rollability.

When it's my time, this is how I want to go out.... I want to be colorful, unique, worn, ragged, loud and memorable! I'm coming in fast, hard and sideways!
I want my friend John, the town Undertaker, to look at me and say, "This guy is spindled, folded and sort of mutilated.... "Wow, this guy looks like he really lived!"

Matias switches do not have spaces for LEDs, so these needed to go underneath the PCB, with legs folded so they shine back up through the switch. By far the most time-consuming part of the assembly.

GONE - We have only two left of these super-storable, attractive, durable chairs. They are so convenient for when extra guests come, or you want to host the whole gang. Better jump on it!
I folded more, but this is all that I brought back. Starting from the top left, moving right and then left in a zig-zag pattern, the models are:
1.my praying mantis
2. pleat tesselation from the class
3. my attempt at designing a starfish
4. Bernie Peyton's polar bear
5. rat from the giant folding contest
6. Sipho Mabona's tiger
7. a cockroach design I am working on
8. Simple tesselation from Eric Gjerde's new book
It folds down small enough to easily fit in my trunk, and can in theory be packed into non-oversized luggage for airplane use.
Brompton folding pedal with powergrips. Bottom of the pedal. You can see how the screws need to be short enough to accomodate the folding mechanism. The pedal needs to fold over the vertical plate on the right hand side.
