The Level City Bike, in connection with Wallpaper was designed by Japanese Shiko Matsuda, who works with Level. Wallpaper wanted the bike to have a clear view of the road, this was achieved by the positioning set for the rider.

For those days when the roads get a bit wet, drum brakes on the front and rear have been added as a effective braking system.

Aiming for a clean look, the Level City Bike brake and gear cables are routed through the frame. Finishing the bike off, two narrower tubes were used instead of a one crossbar, this leaves enough space for a standard briefcase, one that is provided by Brooks.

So far, a total of four reports on cracks have been taken place, which are located beneath the front fork crown. Good news is, no injuries have been reported. The Campus Cruiser is a single speed/fixed gear that released to selected bicycle retailers from March 2010 to May 2010 with a MSRP of $450. If you are a owner, please cease riding the bike, contact a local Campus Cruiser dealer for a free repair. If you are not located by a dealer, then calling Campus Cruiser customer service is your best bet.

21 year old Kevin Scott, a De Montfort University graduate has designed a Folding Bike that wraps around a lamp post. Best part of the folding bike is the ease of locking it without using a lock or chain. Kevin uses a ratchet system built within the frame, which allows the lock to wrap around the wheels and frame.

Kevin Scott aimed to have all the folding bike components locked up, this allows two objectives, one if for the bike to be stored in smaller places, and thief’s will have trouble snatching parts. To ride, all you need to do is ratchet it up tight and you have a stiff frame, and vice versa.
