Thanks for mentioning them. My favorite is my <a href="http://www.brompton.co.uk/" rel="nofollow">Brompton </a>. But a lot of bike shops today stock folding bike so just calling around you can usually find some to try out. It's good to check out how they fold and how small they get so that if you have special needs (like you drive a car with a tiny trunk), you can see if the bike you picked will fit. Thanks for the comment!<br />JimJim Langleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04184699406623972210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6752457184418512360.post-60693174535586055672011-10-13T12:17:02.219-07:002011-10-13T12:17:02.219-07:00I love events like these - I always look forward t...I love events like these - I always look forward to Bike to Work week in May, and I'm glad it's happening in October now too. A couple years ago, I decided I wanted to bike commute to work, but it had been such a long time since I had ridden a bike, I was a little apprehensive about it. Luckily though, when Bike to Work week rolled around, there were a ton of other people doing it too, so it made it easy to get going (and snacks never hurt either). I've since moved on from my old 10-speed I was riding back then, and now I have a <a href="http://www.montaguebikes.com" title="Montague Folding Bikes" rel="nofollow">folding bike</a> which makes commuting even easier for me, since it leaves the option of public transit open, even during rush hour. I think a folding bike, combined with a ride to work event, can be a great way for people to ease into commuting.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13180322956429047153noreply@blogger.com
