Those bicycles with the small wheels

[sandino]

I think they are like the collapsible ones, the ones that fold up. But they look like alot of hard work dont they? The wheels are hardly bigger than the sprocket, i would have thought this is only marginally more efficient than just walking!

As I remember, my sister had one of these when we were younger. They were and a death trap and a basterd to fold up!

Yup Yup Yup my sisters wheel come off, she went flying - oh how we all cracked up"

They've come a long way since the old fold up bikes I remember.

You see a fair few of them in London. Fold up to the size of a brief case and they are the only type of bike allowed on most commuter services in rush hour.

If I had to travel far from my station I'd have one. My £80 train ticket would be an additional £50 a month for tube travel. The bike would pay itself off in 4 months!

They tested two of these on the Gadget Show last year. Jason had that A bike and Suzi had something a bit bigger which didn't fold so small. The small wheels on the A bike really affected its ridability but the verdict was that it is all about priorities - if you need something that folds up to the size of a teacup then there is a compromise to be made when riding it.

That said, we have a couple of folding bikes at home (for weekends away) and they are pants.

If i remember right it has some weird gearing system which does make it slightly faster than walking!

That is of course if you don't die when you hit a stone while going round a corner!

Surely people dont really use them things for anything more then a few laughs?

[Mrs_Hippy]

My god - the size i am that would be lost between my butt cheeks!!!

[Teaman]

we used to sell bromptons, there designed around the hand luggage size in certain trains, you can nip on with it in its little bag,(yeah you get a bag) and then when you hop off the train its twiddle and bobs your cb750f a quick cycle to owrk, the gearing is all worked out and tehre actually quite nippy and stable
down side is there expensive but you do get some nice little extras for them.
