[ilovechickenwing]

Most who bought foldable anything don’t fold them up.

Agree, l see the number of foldables locked at the void deck don't see why they bother to buy foldables when they have no need to fold and a normal bike might be better at the same price.

One important factor for me is after folded, the bike must be able to roll like a trolley on the ground.
If not I carry until siao.

You may think short distance just carry lah.
But it is not like that.
I sold my dahon and tyrell for a brompton R.

To make rolling easy for Brompton R. Consider install omni wheel, makes rolling much easier to steer. Of cos, aesthetics not compared to those atas Ez wheels.

Any good saddles to recommend below 50 bucks? My ass is golden and cant take much abuses.

If you ride long distance, you might want to consider investing in padded shorts too.

Actually i do, fold and put them in the boot with 2x kids bikes, drive somewhere to cycle.

I don't cycle on the roads so foldies are useful to me.

Is a matter of how fast you master the folding. The so called "unfriendly" ones take longer time to master. If you master it, any bike you can fold fast.

That’s about the only use case I can think of. But driving to somewhere to cycle kinda defeats the purpose of cycling. But that’s just me.

It's no different to driving somewhere to do any activity.

So many leisure cyclists now......

If Shimano Altus, sora, tiagra, hollow tech, aero wheel set and hydraulic brake doesn't mean anything to you... Just buy the cheapest bike you are willing to pay...

[PortaPumper]

Below $1k

Just go Taobao or Carousel buy
