Cosa tratta questo video
A chainless, belt-driven folding bicycle provides increased mobility for exploring shore-side locations while cruising. The bike features a tall, narrow frame that requires a brief adjustment period for balance but offers high maneuverability on docks and paved surfaces. It weighs approximately 20 pounds, allowing for easy transport between a sailboat and a dinghy. Maintenance issues include tires that lose pressure monthly, which the owner resolves using a small, rechargeable air horn pump. The single-gear drivetrain uses a belt instead of a traditional metal chain, preventing rust in salt-air environments. During a test in Governor's Harbour, the bicycle allowed the rider to reach a destination 30 minutes faster than a companion traveling on foot. The bike folds down quickly by unlocking the handlebars, pedals, and brakes, making it compact enough for storage in tight sailboat spaces. Replacing the inner tubes would likely eliminate the recurring tire deflation issue.
