If you’d like to cycle to work and not have the worry of where to leave your bike securely, or if you want a means of exercise and transport that doesn’t take up lots of space at home, fold up bikes could just be perfect for you.
If part of your daily journey requires the use of a bus or a train you can take a folding bike on both of these easily. As trains continually reduce the number of bikes allowed a folding bike gets around this issue, and as the average weight of fold up bikes is being constantly reduced they are easier than ever to carry. The folding mechanisms are also getting easier and you can even store a fold up bike under your desk at work.
Fold up bikes aren’t a very good idea for long distances or touring but they are great if your journey is quite short. Many fold up bikes now have gears and they are comfortable and convenient to ride, as well as being easy and quick to fold down when you get to where you’re going. They also deal with the issue of storage in small houses and flats without garages or a shed.
As the summer approaches with warmer days and lighter evenings, our thoughts quickly turn to the outdoors and ways to spend as much time outside as possible. Most of us also start to worry about our physiques in preparation for our new summer wardrobes, so exercise becomes a priority.
Cycling is the perfect way to exercise outside, and it is also a very environmentally friendly mode of transport, but sometimes our plans to cycle everywhere are hindered by the worry of where to leave our bikes on arrival at our destination. This is where fold up bikes have many benefits over ordinary non-folding bikes.
Storing a fold up bike is no problem at all, as you can just fold it up and take it with you. You never have to worry about finding a place to leave it safely, or think about how secure it will be if you leave it outside unwatched. You just have to fold it up into it’s compact form and take it in with you.
Manufacturers of fold up bikes have started to make funky new designs to overcome the traditional image of uncool that was attached to fold up bikes.
Since their initial design fold up bikes have come a very long way and now use innovative and funky designs, and trendy colours alongside their original practical usage and storage advantages. Fold up bikes are now a credible alternative to conventional bikes with the benefits of being able to take them anywhere and store them safely.
