What do you think of the ‘Fold-Up Bicycles’?
http://s2.thisnext.com/media/230x230_no_border/BROMPTON-FOLD-UP-BICYCLE_F939E04F.jpg
I honestly think they’re quite ugly.
But they’re compact.
The picture you show is of a Brompton, which is a high quality folding bike. Some folding bikes can be both flimsy and heavy, and not very practical. Good folding bikes can do almost anything a regular bike can do, but quality in this type of bike is expensive because they use a lot of non standard components and parts can be hard to find.
