What better way to get into the woods than on a bicycle. Andrew shows you the Paratrooper rugged mountain bike with front disk brakes and 24 speeds By turning one quick lever, the X5 Paratrooper folds in less than 30 seconds into 3' x 3' pack that can be dropped from a plane, thrown in the back of car or a tossed into a canoe. This is the ultimate Bushcraft transport. If you are interested in purchasing this bicycle, drop an email to

Bicycles were introduced in the 19th century and now number about one billion worldwide, twice as many as automobiles. The basic shape and configuration of a typical bicycle has changed little since the first chain-driven model was developed around 1885. Many details have been improved, especially since the advent of modern materials.These have allowed for a proliferation of specialized design such as light weight and folding systems. The invention of the bicycle has had an enormous impact on society, both in terms of culture and of advancing modern industrial usage. Several components that eventually played a key role in the development of the automobile were originally invented for the bicycle - e.g., ball bearings, pneumatic tires, chain-driven sprockets, spoke-tensioned wheels, etc.
