Student Dominic Hargreaves is up for the this year's James Dyson Award for innovation with his design for "The Contortionist" folding bike.

The bike's ability to fold up completely into the space of the wheel's 26-inch circumference is impressive.

Watching the video it seems the design is still in the realms of concept as the bike does not appear to be a full working model.

But, will the cycle's clever contortions be cunning enough to net the £10k prize? We shall have to wait and see.
