Folding bicycles answer many of today’s economically-stressed life challenges. With the rising costs of gas, more and more people are choosing the bicycle as their mode of transportation.

Cars are getting smaller due to the price of petrol and the mere fact that fewer people can afford luxury SUVs. There is little room to transport a full sized bike in these wee vehicles and folding bikes pack perfectly for a road trip to the trails. Collapsible bicycles also store easily in small apartments.

In some cases they are so light-weight they fit into a backpack so you don’t even have to lock them up for a trip to the market.

Space-saving convenience, healthy exercise, non-polluting earth-friendliness and cheaper than a car: folding bikes could be the future of everyday transportation.
