folding bikes Q.

RedPlanet · 2007-05-29 11:43:44

There was a thread here once about folding bikes and people's advice on them, can't find it anymore. Anyway a friend is asking me to make a suggestion on folding bike. Seems he's looking at a Giant Halfway http://www.giant-bicycles.com/en-GB/bikes/lifestyle/348/14295/ I know that Brompton are good. What do other people…

Bromptons are usually considered the best because of their folding mechanism. Most bike's try to position the pedals as far back as possible to make them cheaper to fold, but this leaves you in a ridculous riding position with your legs behind you. Better get a brompton if you can afford.
