New book coming! "The Folding Bike"!

I'm wrapping up a new book for this spring, tentatively titled "The Folding Bicycle."

It'll be the first book covering the complete world of the folding bike, its history, development,
variants, shopping details, pros'n'cons, racing, touring, political issues. The works!

It's by Gunnar Fehlau and first came out in German. It's gorgeous. Now it'll be updated and
in English!

NOTE: IF YOU HAVE ANY FOLDING BIKE NEWS OR DETAILS FEEL FREE TO LET ME KNOW. The more the merrier.
We want it to be as complete and up-to-date as possible.

I don't know why you bother, Jeff: in the 1950s they made folding bikes that had integrated fenders
and lighting systems and weighed only 19 pounds. Surely we can do better than that by now!

Oops, wrong thread.
