One of the unifying realities of NYC living: most of us don’t have a lot of living space. Few apartment buildings have bike storage rooms and secure parking (for bikes) once you get to where you’re going is at a minimum. Folding bikes are a convenient way to get around that problem. Once you get to your destination, fold it up and you can (usually, but not always) bring it inside with you. If the weather turns nasty and you don’t feel like pedaling home, it’s easy to take a folding bike on the subway or throw it into the trunk of a cab.
No matter what kind of bicycle you choose: #bikenyc is faster than walking, saves you money, you’ll always be on time and offers much better views than the subway. Join us. You know you want to.
Best thing is that folding bikes can go on the bus, unlike full-size bikes.
Very true! Although in Detroit… (we need these in NYC)
