From my very first yellow and green banana seat bike, I have always loved riding bikes. There is something so magical about being on a quiet bicycle rolling through your terrain while smelling, breathing and really being part of the environment.

As more and more commuters trade in their gas guzzlers (at least part-time) to an efficient, fun and healthy habit of riding a bike, the design and convenience of bicycles have exploded on to new frontiers. Here is just one example of a very cool, travel ready designer bike that may seem a bit steep, but truly is merely a fraction of a the cost of other modes of transportation.

 

About The Bike:

The clean and striking IF Mode is aimed at commuters of the mobile generation who, until now, may have not considered cycling or folding bikes to be an option. IF Mode avoids oily chains, complex tubes with hidden dirt traps, and the clutter of traditional bike features.

Meant for city commuters rather than bicycle warriors, it looks at home folded up on a subway or in an office, like other well designed accessories in your life.


It also performs on the street like any lightweight, well-balanced full size bike.
