Finding city-centre parking can be tough, even if you're behind the wheel of a Mini. To tackle this problem automaker has brought back the collapsible bike.

Folding bikes have been around for decades so Mini, ever eager to hop aboard the green band-wagon,i has launched its own version capable of folding snuggly into most vehicles’ boot space - particularly, of course, that of a Mini.

The aim here is to park outside any CBD and finish your journey on the foldable bike. As a bonus, the bike can be re-folded and carried with you.

FLY THE FLAG

The eight-speed Folding Bike has an aluminium frame and folds along the crossbar and handlebars. It has its own handy travel bag and weighs less than 11kg.

The bike is available in matt black with silver highlights sporting the Mini logo with a Union Jack motif on the rear forks. You'll easily be noticed by larger vehicles on the road thanks to its reflectors and neon yellow bike chain.

Mini will launch its Folding Bike globally in August 2011 with prices yet to be announced.
