bike2car foldout

Arms that stretch out and turn the motorbike into a full sized car

windshield pulls up from side, convertable roof covers from above, but besides the looks, the main point is that this thing creates a safety cage around the driver that wasn't there when you were riding the motorcycle in the suburbs.

Expanding car wheels for stability. Shrinks for parking. https://youtube.com...si=kMs4j7VUxgWNMFvk

       Uh... does it all fold down into George Jetson's briefcase when you're done riding it, too?

       Kind of cute like an Inspector Gadget Car. I will give a bun for your imagination.+   

       Though not well thought out …like where do the side panels come from or go when you turn it back into a motorcycle?

       I wonder whether it would actually be safer, given the flimsy materials that would be needed. I guess you could have a second motorcycle behind the first, and a folding frame that brings out a seat in the middle, but even that isn't much safer.

       I think the idea of a full-spec motor car that folds away into a pocket has been done before.

       Even being more visible would be a distinct advantage. Hence I wear clown wigs on dating services.

       Look at what I just saw. [See](link) It may be a fAIke advertisement, but its still fun to know that finally somebody is thinking of it.   

       I remember somewhere I wrote about an expanding car, but cannot find that one. Maybe one of you, my friends (or at least my co-bakers) can help me find it. I used jutta's view pages, with folding, car, parking - to no avail.

       Pshaw ... "Safety".

       I missed this gem the first time around.
