Apologies Off Topic but I’m sure of interest to the die hard touring fraternity:
Sir Clive Sinclair, the man famous for bringing us the ZX Spectrum, has invented a folding bike that fits in a bag.Sir Clive spoke to BBC Breakfast about the A-bike, which will retail at £150.

SINCLAIR A-BIKE
The lightest and most compact folding bike ever made
It is easy to call a bicycle "folding". The truth is that EVERY SINGLE "folding" bicycle on the market today is too big and too heavy to be carried comfortably.
Enter the SINCLAIR A-BIKE. World lightest and smallest folding bike = 5.5kg.
Measures = (folded) Height 66cm, Length 30cm, Width 15cm.
Take it on the bus, train, plane, boat or car
Invented by Sir Clive Sinclair "..the idea is that if you have a bicycle which is seriously lighter and more compact than anything existing at the moment, it will change the way in which people see bikes.”
"...it's so well built it could have been machined in a Formula One factory .. this is the ipod of bicycles, a fantastic feat of engineering.." Time Out Magazine November 2006
