Giz Wiz Show #1593 for October 21st 2016 - Our 77th Independent Production! 

Thanks to our wonderful Patreon supporters The Giz Wiz Show not only continues, but is well into its 2nd year of independent production. If you'd like to support OMGchad & DickDe in our independent venture (we pay for everything ourselves, including travel) just click the Patreon link at the top of our show web page:  http://www.gizwiz.tv/  You can also contribute just once via the PayPal link that's there too. And thank you! Our show wouldn't exist without our viewer's support.    

And now on to our final great gadgets from the huge Interbike Show, Las Vegas! Startisng with Brompton, makers of high-end customized folding bikes.

 

As you'll in the video on this show, the Brompton folds down to a portable, practical size so can be taken on other forms of public and private transport. It can also be taken inside (homes, offices, bars) so it is a lot less likely to be stolen. The company says folded, their bike even fits under a desk. And it opens and folds closed fast, in under 15 seconds once you know how. Brompton says Its ride position and agility are more than a match for conventional bicycles. Small wheels mean fast acceleration from red lights and increased maneuverability through busy streets. Brompton bikes are tough and can take everything the city throws at it. A steel frame, efficient and puncture resistant tyres (it's built overseas, but it's tires here), handmade with high build quality and a design that has been refined over 25 years. They're available through their own dealer network, so you won't find them on Amazon. (They are other folding bikes at much lower prices on Amazon.) Prices for a Brompton folding bike will depend on the options you select, but checking around on line it looks like they retail starting at about $1200.00 and going to up to $2400.00.
