Cool 16" mini velo road bike for adults


 I love Mini velos but I have to agree that this Bruno labeleled bike is just WEIRD! But I love it! This mini road bike uses 16" wheels, same size as Brompton. Combined with a larger size framset, this just looks so much fun. I wonder how the handling is. A mini velo will always have a more nervous handling thanks to the smaller wheels. Smaller wheels leads to a more uncomfortable ride also. Or maybe the ride on this road bike mini velo is like floating on a magic carpet? What do you think?


Do you know about the JOPO bike from Finland? It is somewhat of a cult classic. A cheap singlespeed with coaster brake and comfortable position. I think this is the perfect bike to have in the garage or locked up outside since probably few would steel it. I really like this bike, just look at the saddle on the bike above (it is not standard equipment).
