For those of us who were children in the late 80s and early 90s, we may have dreamed of one day owning a gigantic tractor trailer that could transform into a colossal fighting robot. Or of simply having a toy that could approximate this change from one form into another. As adults, though, we have come to realize that this is wishful thinking. That is, unless we decide to build this transforming bicycle.

You're thirty years late, you bastards.

    I agree.

    "transforms"

    Rather liberal use the word.

    If this is transforming, then my dick is transforming when I get an erection.

    Wrong perspective. Consider what ten year old you would have thought about it.
