Watching the IF Mode Bike Fold and Unfold (Video)

We liked the if-mode bike so much that we posted on it twice on Treehugger. Now we do it again, after seeing it for real in the Areaware booth at ICFF. I asked Noel Wiggins of Areaware to demonstrate the folding action, which is pretty spectacular.
I apologise for trying to stay close enough to hear Noel while getting in the entire folding process. It isn't terrific.
