Ingenious Vello Bike Folds Up for Easy Commuting

Admit it; we've all rolled our eyes at the person taking up four spots on a rush hour subway car with their bulky bicycle. And while we applaud their eco-friendly commuting habits, we admit it can be a little frustrating when we're running late for work. Enter the Vello Bike to save the day.
