Can any one help me locate an unrideable/clown bike for a charity event?
You know the sort, with the handle bars geard to turn opposite way to normal.
Any help would be nice.

Why not just buty a folder and remove or loosen the folding poins.

I know the old bickerton made dahons had a big button which says "do not press". I imagine pressing that would make the bike a bit 'unrideable'

This is the one, though it is madly overpriced.

Or this

And at the end of the day you have a pretty good folder

@alexpalacefan you say you might be able to help in a previous post ... just wondered how? We are looking for something similar for a fete on June 22nd to raise money for education awareness in Uganda. I can possibly collect and deliver depending on exactly where you are. Rich
