Another one for the why-did't-I-think-of-that file - or, for that matter, the why-haven't-these-been-around-for-decades file - these are folding bicycle handlebars, from designer Joe Wentworth on Tuvie. These offer a number of improvements over the solid handlebars of, well, every existing bike: the bike will take less space when leaned against a wall, less space when crammed into a trunk or SUV, and the folded handlebars will lock the steering so the bike doesn't roll-and-fall like they tend to do when leaning. And, as Gizmodo writer Sean Fallon notes, no more "groin-first trips into my exposed bike handlebars." All the more reason these should have been around for decades!
Product design use and usability, designs new and old, inspired and unspired. The little things that matter.
