Folding Bikes
Folding bikes, explained.
Folding bikes collapse in seconds to fit under a desk, in a car boot or on a train — solving the last-mile problem for commuters and the storage problem for flats and caravans.
Small wheels make them nimble and quick to accelerate; modern designs ride far better than people expect. Look at folded size and weight if you'll carry yours regularly.
They're allowed on UK trains at all times (unlike full-size bikes at peak hours), which makes them the ultimate mixed-commute machine.
What they are
Full bikes that fold to suitcase size in under 30 seconds.
Best used for
Train commutes, caravans and motorhomes, small flats — anywhere storage or transport is tight.
Good to know
Folders travel free on UK trains at any time of day — no bike reservation needed.
About this range +
What to look for in a folder: a hinge that locks solid (flex is the enemy), 20" wheels as the sweet spot between ride quality and folded size, and gearing low enough for real hills — Shropshire has plenty. Most fold in under 30 seconds once you've done it twice.
Every folding bike is built, safety-checked and hinge-adjusted in our workshop before dispatch — a step that matters more on folders than any other bike type. Free UK delivery, 12-month warranty, 90-day no-quibble returns, and 0% finance available. Commuting by train? A folder plus the Cycle to Work scheme is one of the cheapest ways to transform a commute.
