Nice one Dachs!
Incidentally, those folding bikes can be blinking useful!

A folding bike will get you from A to B, but, the experience will not be a pleasant one 
Depends how and where you use it Spitty!
Right tools for the right job and all that!

Yes, horses for courses of course, but, in general, a folder is only practical if A and B are within walking distance anyway!
Interesting subject but perhaps for another thread
However,for example, I’ve taken my folder on the train to London and totally chilled out riding miles exploring, people watching and taking in the sights, could have walked but…

Yep, and this one is one of the lightest weighing 10kg only which was the main reason for buying it.

There’re more comfy ones but how much do the weigh? I bought it to put it in my car boot so as to be mobile wherever I go.
More importantly, why is it folded, in a stand, mid journey 
Which one did/do you have?
Got part of it, it’s the carrier 
It’s the common way to make it stand on its own. It’s a head-turner whenever people see it like that. Most people over here are puzzled how it works.

That looks like a collapsible bike which I still have and which folds only once. Folding bikes like the Brompton fold three to four times.
That was the Moulton, heavy and very non-ergonomic
My friend Jeff who is 86 and an ex marathon runner (London in 2 hours 30 minutes 
) and a retired PE teacher has a nice light racing road bike, but much prefers to ride his ‘Shopper’ bike…He reckons it’s better training.
He doesn’t half cover some miles on it…
Okay. it doesn’t fold…

They go for a good price on ‘Bangers and Cash’ Spitty.
I’m talking several hundreds and even thousands…
I remember the MK1, did a few miles on it, it was hard work, just like the fold ups, at this age, It’s just about easy passage.
