The circle bike has room for a folding single bed or a lawn chair. A tent can be pitched around the circle for complete privacy. Within that circle is a 3.5-kg (7.7-lb) aluminum module known as the Camping Companion.
When it’s time to go, the circle once again becomes a seamless part of the frame provides extra storage. While the bike is in motion, that module sits flat and in line with the rest of the frame.

When the rider stops and puts down the bike’s two-legged kickstand, though, the Camping Companion is folded out to sit horizontally perpendicular to the frame on either side.
The Cercle bike can be equipped with racks like all the other touring bikes. Its handlebars are not connected to the front wheel, they are linked via two steering cables. The company has active Facebook and Instagram accounts, which are the best places to get the latest information on the project.
