Fold Up BIkes - Solve all Storage and Security Problems
For those of you who would like to be able to cycle to work, or anywhere you want to get to, without the worry of where to leave your bike safely, or for people who wish to have a mode of exercise and transport that is easy to store at home, then fold up bikes could be the solution.
If part of your daily commute is on a train or a bus then a folding bike is perfect. As trains continue to reduce the number of bikes allowed, a folding bike gets around this issue nicely. Fold up bikes are getting lighter all the time and the folding action is getting easier. You can even store a fold up bike neatly under a desk at work.
Fold up bikes aren’t totally suitable for long distance journeys or touring but if you’re only pedalling a short way they are ideal. Some contemporary fold up bikes are now geared and have a suitable cycling position for comfort. They can be quickly and easily folded when you reach your destination or get on public transport. They also deal with the storage issues connected with conventional, non-folding bikes as they can be stored easily in a small house or flat, without a garage 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 think about summer wardrobes and start getting prepared with exercise becoming a priority.
Cycling is an excellent way to exercise outside, as well as a useful mode of environmentally friendly transport. However thoughts of cycling everywhere are often prevented by thoughts of where to leave your bike safely on arrival. This is how fold up bikes have an advantage over conventional non-folding bikes.
Storing folding bikes isn’t an issue as you can just fold them up easily and take them indoors with you. Riders of fold up bikes never need to think about finding a space to leave their bike or about the safety of leaving it outside unguarded. All they have to do instead is fold their bike up and take it with them, with no storage or security worries at all.
Manufacturers of fold up bikes have recently started to overcome the image of being uncool that has been attached to the product in the past. So there are new designs coming out all the time, made by most of the top brands.
Fold up bikes have improved a lot since their original design and now use innovative designs and funky colours while still being practical. Fold up bikes are now an excellent alternative to ordinary non-folding bikes with the advantage of being able to take them with you anywhere and store them easily.
