Folding Bikes (31)

It’s easy to bring your bike with you when you have a folding bike. A folding bike can quickly and easily fold to suitcase size and travel with you on planes, trains and buses and into buildings for safe storage. The portability of a folding bike makes it ideal for multimodal commutes or first and last mile transportation. Ridesharing services and taxis aren’t off limits for a folding bike user. A folding bike quickly folds to fit on any elevator, and it can fit under or beside your desk at work. It’s compact enough to fit under the table at a restaurant and will easily fit in the trunk of your car. This reduces risk of theft while increasing ride opportunities.

Folding bikes are a space saving solution for anyone with limited storage space, and they can help declutter your home. They’re ideal for apartment dwellers because their compact folded size allows for storage underneath beds and in closets, corners and nooks. As is true with any bike, it’s most protected at home, indoors. Since foldable bikes are more easily stored indoors than a normal bike, they can more easily be safeguarded from theft and elements of climate and weather.

In addition to the commuting and space saving benefits of foldable bikes, they are fast, fun and easy to use. Perfect for start-stop city riding, their small wheels accelerate quickly off the line, lose less speed to wind resistance and offer greater maneuverability around road obstacles. Their smaller wheels are also lighter and stronger than the larger, longer-spoked wheels of a regular bike. Most folding bikes are one size fits all. The handlebars and seat can be raised and lowered to fit any rider in your family, and the bike can be easily folded or unfolded in under thirty seconds.

The best commuter bike is a folding bike. Once you experience the free and unrestricted mobility that comes with owning a foldable bike, you’ll see why commuters love them. Imagine being able to effortlessly switch your mode of transportation several times in a single trip. Folding bikes are convenient, portable, space saving and fun.

At Clever Cycles, we sell Brompton and Tern. Brompton folding bikes are handmade in London. Bromptons have exceptional ride quality, an unbeatably compact folded size and loads of custom options. Year after year they outsell all our other bikes. Terns start at half the cost of Bromptons, but with a larger folding size. Their larger wheels and exceptionally stiff frames mean they ride as well or even better than Bromptons. You’ll have to test both to decide!
