I ride a bicycle, but will never ride LTD's bus. LTD is totally mismanaged, and now is trying to force the West Eugene EmX on a public majority that opposes the plan. The West Eugene EmX would be a disaster for Eugene.

@kkobayashi1 It stands up a lot better now! Experiment with crank rotation for the most stable position. - LC

It does hold together when folded. It doesn't stand up on its own very well though, I find I need to lean it against something. There's no suspension, though I've added a suspended seatpost to mine.

One question ... does this thing hold together when it is folded, or does it tend to spread apart ... AND ... is there a state in Australia called Oregon? heh heh heh! Nice bike though ... Does it have a suspension? Where do I find out more about this thing!

Perhaps they filmed this outside of rush-hours so as to not inconvenience regular commuters.

I think it's the driver on the bus. It was stopped for 'demo' purposes. :)
Great vid!

Hi, that was awesome. The only negative response I imagine I would get if I showed it others is that the bus interior shown at the end of the video had almost no passengers - this seems to contradict the earlier point about buses being more crowded.
