Since last Wednesday when the animated suitcase folding bike demonstration video was posted on RideTHISbike.com, there has been tremendous interest in this revolutionary, James Bond like bike that folds into a suitcase. Based only on computer generated images of the bike, posts on Wired, TreeHugger, EcoGeek, etc. are indicating that people are forming opinions on the bike even though no Suitcase Bikes have been available for review. I think that's about to change.
Following are several photos of Suitcase Bikes in production at the factory. Obviously from the photos, a number of the bikes have been completed and will be available soon so it's only a matter of time before reviews of the bike are available. The only question is exactly when...

It would be quite interesting if the design team that created the iPod unleashed such elegant, stylish and practical designs into this realm where success is so much about the simplicity and the "how it looks" hipness factor.
