Why should I buy a folding bike!

For your typical city occupant folding bikes usually are the most appropriate way to get around. With a lot of Londoners living in flats and apartments with little if any storage space a foldable bicycle is going to be much more convenient when compared to a standard sized cycle. The bikes fold up rapidly and are generally small enough to be tucked away in the home or taken on trains and buses during the particular times that ordinary cycles are restricted on account of passenger over crowding. Folding bikes can in fact be taken on the tube system, taken on buses and even taken on Croydon's Tram link system. Officially the bikes may need to be in a small bag but in practice Transport for London rarely enforce this and if they do then a pair of black bin liners will suffice. A folder will permit a person to circumvent the train companies' cycle restrictions and you could actually take your folding bike home in a minicab on a Friday night following a few bevies at the pub! There are plenty of different kinds of folding bicycles available, from leading manufacturers including Dahon, Brompton and Pashley.
