This means that seven miles of Manhattan streets will be a car free paradise for cyclists and pedestrians.

NYC DOT and its partners are proud to present Summer Streets. This summer, for the fourth year in a row, Summer Streets will temporarily close Park Avenue and connecting streets from the Brooklyn Bridge to Central Park to motor vehicles and open it up to people on three consecutive Saturdays in August (August 6, 13, & 20).

Check it out. Bring your bike. These make great rides for everyone.

The IFMODE folding bike is one of these concepts. Designed by Mark Sanders, the man behind Strida, a reinvented folding bike, the IFMODE might possibly be the folding bike that has thought of everything.

The IFMODE just has single arms supporting the front and back wheels; these are on opposite sides so that the bike can fold together into one slim package. And when folded up, there’s a handle so that you can roll the bike along rather than lugging it, as you usually do with conventional folding bikes. It even fits in a suitcase, and has a rubber, greaseless chain that won’t muck up your work pants. [via Fast Company]

Preorders are available now for $2,579. We didn’t say it was cheap.
