Smooth, effortless, graceful. that’s the dictionary definition of Glide, and it’s the perfect description of our favorite low-step folder. Instead of jumping in the car to get that trip to the local café for a baguette and a latté, grab a Glide and cruise the streets in European style. The UpRide frame geometry puts your body in a relaxed upright position – like you are walking, just a lot faster. 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.
