FREEMAN BIKE.


This is a must have. The Freeman Bike is a bike that comes apart (in about 15 mins) and packs into a 19lb. checkable airplane bag for relatively easy travel. I can think of many cities where having a bike is a great way to get around. Tokyo, HK, Barcelona, hell even Vegas!
They can build the bike in many different ways, with or without brakes, and paint it almost any color. My only concern is that I’m an absolute bumbling idiot when it comes to tools and craftiness. I wonder how difficult/easy is it to put this bike together and take it apart? Would suck to bring a bike to a foreign country only to find yourself unable to get it working. Anyway, even if you don’t travel with this, it’s a great piece of craftsmanship to have at home.
これはは必需品。このFreeman Bikeは解体可能（15分くらい）で飛行機の機内に持ち込める8キロのバッグに入ります。バイクを持っていればすごく移動しやすい都市がたくさんあります。東京、香港、バルセロナ、ラスベガスまで！
彼らはいろいろな方法でバイクを組み立てて、ブレーキの有無や、色の調合もできます。ただひとつの心配は、僕は道具や組み立てるに関してはまったくのへたれなんです。このバイクの解体と組み立てはどのくらい難しい/簡単なのだろう？外国に持ちこんで組み立てられなかったら最悪ですよね。これで旅行をしなくても、すばらしい職人芸です。
