Let’s say you live in New York City and you are taking your lovely folding kayak (because if you live in NYC, any kayak you own must be a folding kayak, right?) on the subway (because if you live in NYC, you take the subway everywhere) and you are wondering at which stop you should transfer to get on the A line to Jamaica Bay. (Let’s also suppose that there is someone inconveniently blocking the subway map that is on every MTA car.) No worries, mate! All you have to do is whip out the kayak hull strapped to your back and trace the blue line to where… oh never mind…it doesn’t actually show that part of the map.

Well, it still serves the dual purposes of looking cool and loudly proclaiming your love for New York City to all those who recognize the NYC MTA map. As if folding kayaks didn’t get enough attention already, here’s one that will twist heads Exorcist-style from port to starboard. And it’s also based on the lightweight and compact Citibot, which was specifically designed for city dwellers like yourself (perhaps).
