Silly tiny bike

Bridgestone Picnica

Maybe not quite as silly as flashy the wonderbike, but pretty silly and a bit more useful.

folds in 5 seconds to something that fits in the trunk, sans Wink256:

Pretty much stock as shown, but a long seatpost to get the saddle up to the right height and a clapped out B17. It works well, a no setbackpost with the B17 counteracts the super slack seat tube angle. When I have ridden it before with a setback post and a normal saddle I was right above the rear wheel making it a wheelie master if I was not paying attention.

Maybe with some folding pedals and handlebars I could cram it in a big golf bag.

It is a chain drive, but it has a nice chain case.

Totally silly! What's the seat post diameter on yours?
