A foldable bicycle is provided. One feature of the foldable bicycle is
that the central portion of the frame that defines the bicycle's geometry
is substantially rigid. That is, the down tube, seat tube, top tube and
bearing tube are substantially fixed relative to each other. Another
feature of the foldable bicycle is that the front wheel can be folded
into a position between the down tube, which is comprised of two tubes.
Yet another feature is a tandem bicycle configuration that does not
extend the length of the frame or the wheelbase. This Abstract is
provided for the sole purpose of complying with the Abstract requirement
rules that allow a reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the
disclosure contained herein. This Abstract is submitted with the explicit
understanding that it will not be used to interpret or to limit the scope
or the meaning of the claims.
