For my alevel product design coursework i am looking to design a bicycle that encorporates a mechanism that alows for it to be folded flat.
I know there are already communter bikes that allow for them to be completly folded. However i am just looking to design a bike that allows for the pedals and handle bars to be moved by a simply mechanism so that the bike would then be flat.
Therefor allowing for the bike to be put behind a sofa or a cupboard in a flat with limited space. This design would especially be attractive to communters, students or people with limited space to store a bike at home in.

I'd be grateful if anyone could provide me with ideas or opinions on this.

Would this be an idea or design that would be attractive to you?

I'm lookinf forward to hearing your thoughts

THANKS!
