A common frustration in my part of the world is that transit does not run very often, and there are only 2 spots for bikes on the front of buses. There have been many times when I’ve had to wait an extra hour just to see if the next bus happens to have a spot for my bike.

Every time this happens, I promise myself that I’m going to someday spend the money to buy a folding bike (which can be taken on the bus if it’s folded).

In my head, riding a folding bike is a joyous experience, partly because of Dr Sharon riding a Brompton in Ted Lasso, but I’m curious what it’s actually like.

My dream folding bikes are any model of Brompton, a RadExpand 5, or a Tern Link D7i.

    Oh that’s a really cool looking bike, and an incredible value too! So glad you’re having a good experience with it.

      Thank you!! I also recommend this review of it. For reference, on the space it takes up when folded, imagine the size of a PC case. Not as small as a Brompton, but pretty doable.
