Despite receiving harsh reviews upon its release (here and here), Trek's Lime bicycle, with the neat fold-up storage seat, has been awarded the People's Design Award (via online voting) at the 2009 National Design Awards. To refresh your memory, the Lime was designed specifically for non-cyclists:

Introduced as the answer to the millions of American adults who do not ride a bike, the Trek Lime bike was the first to feature Shimano's revolutionary Coasting system. At the center of Lime's design is the reminder that riding a bike should be as enjoyable today as it was when you were a child. With its comfortable, upright riding position, automatic transmission and pedal brakes, Lime is designed to ride the way we did as kids -- spontaneously, socially, and to experience the sheer joy of motion. Lime is the ideal bike for the casual rider who wants a fun, convenient and stylish way to run out for a cup of coffee or a breath of fresh air.
