Moulton Stowaway Bicycle | Object in Focus | V&A

How has the design of the bicycle evolved over the years? Senior design curator Brendan Cormier shows us the ingenious ways in which Alex Moulton made the bicycle more portable, illustrating how firmly established objects designed for everyday use can be iterated upon and improved in order to maintain relevance in modern society.

I have one. Same model and colour but not with the frame break. I ride mine to work every day. My parents gave me one in 1968.

How can we redesign other everyday objects to make travelling easier?

I remember riding one and the thing separated as I sped down the road!
