I want a bicycle. I have nowhere to store it, and I suspect it would be stolen within a week. Not enough room inside either. Also, I haven't biked in...20 years!
the last bicycle i bought i got to ride exactly once before it was stolen.
It's (a lot) like riding a bike, it'd come right back!
You should considere a folding bike! I have a Priority Folder and I love it.
That would probably work. The local shops cannot seem to keep folding bikes in stock here.
I'd recommend a test ride before you buy one, I tried a couple and found them to be not nearly as useable as a cheap old mountain bike for actually enjoying riding.
A friend used to be a big Brompton fan, but it made sense for her because she lived in central London.
I would have to test no matter what. I'm on the tall side.
I've got 1 folding bike (so far) and a couple folding ebikes: Would recommended.
I want to pick up a Takachia trifold too, but money is tight.
I was thinking of getting one. What made you decide to get a priority folder?
Im looking for one that I can take to work and back, and can easily fold up without too many long term repairs. Ive heard horror stories about fixing some old folding bikes but ive never had one.
The other commenter is totally right about it being “like riding a bike.” My kids started riding and I had a bike but hadn’t ridden in like 15 years probably, so I was a little apprehensive about trying it again. It was no problem at all.
My gf and I share an apartment so small it's a bit of an inside joke in our friend group and we have 3 bicycles inside, we just get everywhere on city bikes and refuse to leave them outside overnight. Honestly, it doesn't take that much space.
If ebikes you're something youd consider l, they make some that fold.
Yeah, and 20in wheels. Even 250w makes a big difference to allow less exhaustion (/longer distance).
I made sure to get a bike with gears so I could actually put the effort+speed in, and got a decent price on it (decently below the $1K ground floor) but unfortunately it is now discontinued so finding something similar may be difficult (also, telescoping handlebar stem).
Unfortunately I still don't ride as much as I should. Mostly there's not much around, but also add things like weather conditions, mosquito/tick fears, limited by how long my cold water lasts, and various other things that I lack (tire patch kit, durable+breathable clothing, storage because common store options use incompatible mounting).
