Cycling has obviously many advantages, especially when you live in a central area where everything is pretty much close by and driving a car will be too much of a hassle. Unfortunately, most bicycles aren't too easy to carry around if you're planning to be more adventurous from getting from point A to point B. The SwissBike XO is one mode of transportation that will change your mind - this full size mountain bike with 26" wheels can be folded into a 36" x 28" x 12" size in less than half a minute through a quick-release system that doesn't even need a toolbox handy. All that is made possible thanks to the company's Foldable Integrated Technology System and CLIX Wheel Retention System. SwissBikes aren't cheap though, retailing from $679 all the way up to the high end $2,250 XO model.
