Sinclair A bikeBearded boffin, Sir Clive Sinclair has a fabulous record of successful inventions; the pocket calculator, world?s first digital watch, affordable ZX80 and Spectrum home computers, and also a string of flops like the C5 electric car that was suppose to revolutionize pollution free travel. 

 

His latest invention, the A-bike, looks like it could well be a hit amongst anyone wanting to commute to work without their car.   So named, because of its ?A? like shape in use, the uniquely styled A-bike is said to feel much like a normal bike to ride.  Folding in 10 seconds using 3 click telescopic mechanisms, unlike other folding bikes it can easily be slipped into a bag while you hop on the bus or train, taking just 15 seconds to unfold again.
