Small concept bikes apparently on some designers’ minds. Last week we heard about the Bicymple, a small chainless bike. This week we were treated to word on the MiniMum, from Omer Sagiv, a city bike that is crafted from aluminum tubes and which uses a wire cable support with flexible tension to add stability.
The MiniMum used a back pedal break along with a Kevlar belt instead of the chain to reduce maintenance on this city commuter. It is reportedly fixed gear, so we’re not sure how that will manage in traffic, and since this bike doesn’t appear to fold we’re not sure if many office buildings would actually allow riders to bring it in.
But for those looking for a simple bike to get around, the MiniMum might just be the thing.
