The IF MODE combines a number of features to optimize fast folding into a compact footprint including a single sided fork and rear stay (on opposite sides of the frame), folding handlebars, integrated stem and front fork and even folding pedals. The clever twist &#8211; literally &#8211; is the patented, single-action, automatic folding mechanism that requires no tools or removal of parts and automatically guides the wheels together. Once folded, MODE becomes a wheelable package complete with in-built handle so that you don&#8217;t have a dead weight to lug around when you swap pedalling for perambulation.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article_body\" style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<p class=\"snap_noengage\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Designed and created by Mark Sanders, the IF MODE achieves the main part of its swift transformation via a quick release lever which &#8230;\u00c2\u00a0 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gizmag.com\/ifmode-folding-bicycle\/11349\/\" target=\"_blank\">Details<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><center><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"http:\/\/www.avantlink.com\/link.php?ml=1129&amp;p=12689&amp;pw=15937\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a world in which we have come to expect our gadgets to be small and compact yet deliver the benefits of the full size model, Pacific Cycles&#8217; IF Mode fold-up bike is unlikely to disappoint.
