Described herein is a bike including a frame member linking the front and rear wheel(s) made up of a first forward section or sections extending from the front wheel(s) and a second rear section or sections extending from the rear wheel(s). The section endings mate about a lockable connection assembly that is also in communication with a seat-post connected to the seat. The frame sections pivot about a connection assembly axis in a direction perpendicular to the bike frame and the seat-post is able to be moved independent of the frame sections. A key advantage of the above bike is the high range of height adjustability allowing the bike to be used by range of different sized users. Height adjustment is also very easy and may be done toolessly. Further, maintaining the seat in a desired riding alignment independent of frame movement is important otherwise the rider position will change relative to the handlebars leading in extreme cases to falls from the bike. Use of gas assisted injection moulding in bike manufacture is also described.
