What do you think about folding bikes?



Are they dependable? What's a good brand and what should I pay? How many gears do I need for moderate terrain?

I'm an adult novice who will cycle for a few hours on weekends out in the country.

Folding bikes are for people with space constraints, such as flying to Europe, living in a small apartment, or sailing on a small boat, or going to work via a train where you cant put a regular bike on the train.

folding bikes can be tough to make a good fit for bigger guys.


there are always some compromises on folding bikes but -

Check Giatex Portable for one a little different and really quite rigid.

Unless you NEED the features of a folding bike, you will enjoy a non folder much more.
They are a novelty, for the most part. If you want to do some good rides get a regular bike. Any area where a bike folds will be a weak spot subject to flex and break downs. It will just hurt your ability to ride, in the long run. It will take more energy to make a weaker bike that flexes alot go for longer periods of time.
Save your money, and buy a real bike.
