Looks pretty fun. I thought it was a brakeless freewheel bike for a minute, then I saw the lever. braking on the rear wheel, I'm guessing.
Now I'd like to see a swing bike version of that bike!
A swing bike would be a step closer to a folding bike, too.

^ I didn't notice and couldn't see any brakes in the rear, but yeah... front wheel brakes on something like that is completely out of the question.
