Bicycle type
Folding Bike
Compact bikes, usually with small wheels, whose frame folds so the bike can be carried onto public transport or stored in a small space.
Typical use
Commuting combined with trains or buses, and storage in small homes
Pros & Cons
The main trade-offs of the Folding Bike design.
Advantages
- Folds small enough to carry onto trains and buses
- Easy to store indoors at home or at work
- Practical for journeys that combine cycling with public transport
Disadvantages
- Small wheels feel less smooth on rough surfaces
- Often heavier and more expensive than a non-folding bike of similar quality
- Less suited to long distances or high speeds
