This weekend we threw out the question on Twitter, what brought you to folding bikes? Here are a couple of answers:

“It was love at first sight with the Boardwalk silky model”

“Taking the bike on the train, small apartment, and not leaving the bike on the street at night”

Some people adore the look and ride of small wheels, some like the peace of mind when you know it’s folded and right there under your desk, and others like not having to hunt for a bike compartment on the train. There are 101 reasons to fall in love with folding bikes. Maybe you got the bike for just one and discovered all these other little benefits. That’s the secret, you’re not just buying any old bike. That’s why folding bike owners exchange those knowing smiles when they cross each other’s paths.
