Ride To Live--Live To Ride!
You have all seen pictures of David on my site before. You proabably saw him last month on this really interesting looking bike. When he lived in Chicago he rode Critical Mass religiously!
David used to work at Velocity and Rapid Transit. Now he works at R&E Cycles in Seattle.
As part of R&E's shop they also make Rodriguez bicycles. One of their newest bike designs is an ultra-compact traveller.
It does not currently have a name, so my suggestion is "Mariposa". It comes out of these bags (see left) and turns into a really (really) beautiful bicycle. This bike was designed and built by Matt Houle.
All of the couplings are made by S and S Machine and there are two different sizes on this bike. If you would like to see other custome made bikes from around the world utilizing these revolutionary tube couplings vist the S and S site.

Pictures from the assembly of the bike are here.
