The Dudebike is an Italian folding bicycle designed by Franceso Bordin that allows the rider to customize the riding features to suit their personal tastes. Unlike a standard bike, the Dudebike was exclusively developed for city riding with a vintage design aesthetic.
Bordin modeled the Dudebike after a traditional Italian fold bike that has the ability to collapse in on itself and be folded into two. This is ideal for traveling and throwing your bike in the back of a car for a weekend get away. The Dudebike is also fully customizable allowing consumers to select the frame color, wheels, pedals, lights and saddles that are specific to your personal taste no matter your budget.
