    I love the whole process of making a thing you need out of what you have. The folding bike is the perfect solution. Those chain hinges are just so cool!

      skyler lehmkuhl --- That's because they aren't useful for a hinge of this type, chains break very easily, even until normal load.

    Laura: "I got kicked out of the train for not having reservation to take my bicycle."
    Solution: Laura makes a bicycle she can board on the trains without needing reservations.
    Makers are the new solution heroes! Just make whatever is needed.
    God bless! Stay safe and healthy!

      @@Liofa73 The tubular shape and strength of the bolts body may compensate for some of that. With the proper thickness, length and fit it may he stronger then the HOLLOW thin walled bike frame. Just a guess.
