A Folding Bike Goes Places That
Other Bikes Just Can't Go

folding bike

The folding bike has changed dramatically in recent years. They have made giant strides in their designs and can now rival their full size cousins. They have many advantages over bigger bikes from a standpoint of storage and port- ability. And,you don't need a vehicle rack to transport them.
Dahon Glide P8

A folding bike goes places that no other bike can go. Like a closet, a car trunk, an elevator,a bus, a train, a plane, or a office building. You may sacrifice a bit in ride and handling (not as much as you might think) but it makes up for it in storage and convenience. They are very popular in Europe and Asia and catching on, rapidly, in the USA.

The Dahon bike shown above uses the Up-Right frame geometry that puts your body in a relaxed upright position like you are walking, just a lot faster. And, the step through design makes boarding easy.

You've never ridden a smoother, more comfortable bike. And when it comes time to fold, you'll really appreciate how fast and small the Glide packs down. 8 Speeds, 33 lbs.


Why a folding bicycle may be a good choice.


  • Convenient storage- The compact size make it great for campers, boaters, and apartment dwellers. Most will be about the size of a suitcase when folded.
  • Portability- You can carry it in the trunk of your car or in to work in you commute. Most weigh under 35 lbs.

  • Easy set-up and breakdown- Most can be folded or unfolded in about 30 seconds.

  • Can go in elevators- This is important to city dwellers and office workers that commute by bike.

  • Security- You can take it with you and don't need to worry about theft.

  • Great for traveling- You can pack it in a case and take it on vacation with you.
