Folding Bicycle - The Perfect Bicycle for the Urban Dweller - By: Allan Michael Taylor

For the urban workers and city dwellers, riding a bicycle is very beneficial especially if they only need to travel for a short time. If they ride the train or drive their own car, it will be a big waste of money, not to mention environmentally unfriendly because of the fuel that these modes of transportation use up. However, one problem that goes with it is that bicycles are bulky and heavy, which makes it difficult to transport them.

Some people live near the train station. But when it is time for them to get off the train, they need a bicycle to reach their offices or companies. The distance is too far for them to walk but too near for them to take a cab or to ride the bus. What they need is to ride a bicycle. However, carrying a regular bicycle inside crowded places like trains or subways is not a good idea because it is troublesome. It will not only cause you trouble but also to other people inside the train.

Fortunately, some ingenious inventor created something that solves this problem - a lightweight bicycle that can be folded several times. A folding bicycle is the perfect travelling companion for urban dwellers. You can easily buy a folding bicycle from bicycle shops or from the internet. But first, you have to do a little research about these cool portable bicycles. Here is a list of the folding bicycle's features that will help you decide.

- One of the main features of a folding bicycle is that it can be folded a few times so that its size will become smaller than a regular bike. This feature is what separates this bicycle from the rest. It can be folded three times so that you can easily carry it wherever you go. This significant decrease in size is what makes people choose the folding bicycle. They can carry it inside the train without bothering other people and they can store it easily even in small closets or spaces.

- These bicycles usually have small wheels because they need to be folded at certain parts. The small wheels make it move a lot but it will still give you an easy ride on the city's flat cemented roads. It is not a good idea to use them on off-road trips, though.

- A folding bicycle also has longer frames. This is because it has smaller wheels. The frame should be higher than regular bikes so that adults can ride on it easily. It would feel as if you are riding a child's bicycle.

- Since the bicycle can be folded in some parts, these parts have to be adjusted. Some of the positions of these parts are a bit different compared to regular bicycles. You might feel a bit weird during your first ride on this bicycle, but once you get used to it, you will feel more comfortable and relaxed, as if you are riding an ordinary bicycle.

These are some great features of a folding bicycle. Although it lacks the speed and power of most regular bikes, at least it can take you from one place to another, which is what it is supposed to do.
