Title: BMX Commuting / folding bike
Post by: jimwise68 on November 29, 2012, 04:33 PM

Walked past the Moorgate branch of Cycle Surgery this morning and saw this bad boy sitting in the window  :shocked:

Now this is what i call a commuters folding bike.  :daumenhoch:

Like the idea and It'll certainly get attention. Wouldn't have one though.
Having a 20 inch bike that folds in half really fooks me off. On a packed commuter train, an unfolded 20 inch takes up less space than a folded one.

The manufacturer had to recall all the Kansi bikes because someone had a bad accident on one but I think the issue must have been sorted.

This bike project was done by Martin Hawyes who was a big MTB trials rider BITD, super nice guy. It is what it is though, a 20" folding bike which is pretty useless.

If you want a folding bike, Brompton is the best portable folder.

Not a patch on Tim's 'foldskool' collection from MK 11
Anyone got any pics? The folding ET and TA reps were ace, and the light cycle...  :4_17_5:
