Folding Bikes
What is a Folding Bike?? It is exactly what it sounds like; a bike that folds up!! Rapidly increasing in popularity, the Folding Bike is great for cyclists of all ages. Perfect if you have limited storage space, commute to work, or you love to travel… The Folding Bike can pretty much go anywhere you want to take it.
Sick of copping filthy looks for taking you Bike on the Bus or Train at peak hour? Not anymore… These bikes can be folded into a small enough cube that you can carry it onto the bus or train, without taking up much room. They are light, durable and fold with ease making them a perfect purchase for commuters. If you have a bit of practice, most folding bikes can folded up in under a minute!
Sure, these bikes look
smaller than your average Road Bike or MTB Bike, but don’t let that fool you.
Folding Bikes are very agile and easy to ride. No matter what type of Stowaway
Bike you are looking for there is a model for pretty much any type of cycling
you are into… Comfortable, recreational style, sporty race road bikes or even
off road Mountain Bikes. There are frames perfect for people with limited
flexibility, which have a step through frame, making it much easier to step on
and off the bike.
The compact size of the Folding Bike make it a must have for holidaymakers. They can be easily stored away in your car, camper van, caravan or boat, meaning you can tour the sites on your bike instead of being cooped up in a hot car, or paying a fortune to hire a bike for the day.
Travel a lot with work? Folding Bikes easily fit in the boot of the car, or a small luggage bag for transporting on planes, and because they are so lightweight, you won’t be shelling out on extra baggage fees at the airport. No more taxis!!
If you decide to purchase a Foldable Bike, the most important consideration is quality. Not all of these bikes have the same folding mechanisms so it is important that you select a model that suits your needs, but is also easy for you to operate. Quality Folding Bikes such as Dahon and Apollo are as easy to fold as they are to ride.
