26 Folding Bike
How tiring might be to ride a folding 16″ bike?

I mean, I’m used to do my routine -around 10 miles- in my hybrid bike with 26″ tires, and everything seems to be fine, but the other day I picked for the same distance a folding 16″ bike, and even though it was lot of fun the perspective and the response of the bike, I got my destiny sweating!
Is it normal this pronounced difference between both bikes or I did the wrong shifting or I am getting old!
Thanx!

There are folding bikes that perform well, but they are very expensive. An average inexpensive folding bike is only meant for short distances, they are heavy, the frames are flexy, and the usually have poor quality wheels. A really good folding bike like a Moulton could be used for anything a full sized bike can do.

Folding Bike 24
What size wheel and tire are ideal for a vintage Peugeot folding bike?

I found one that I’m trying to fix. It doesn’t have the original wheels, so I’m trying to find replacements. I found that 24″ wheels fit… without the tires. When they’re on, the tires have no clearance below the fenders. The top would rub against the screw holding the fender on. What and where can I find replacement wheels and tires???
In response to needtoknow, I found pics of my bike online… I believe mine to be a 1972 NS22. It was on http://velospace.org/node/4944

It is the exact same bike. It has 22″ wheels, which are hard to find. Any ideas for replacements???

Hi, what kind of bike is it? Do you happen to have pictures of it? I’m guessing it’s a Peugeot Nouveau folding bicycle, give me your e-mail address so I can get in touch with you.

Update: Yes, I have the exact bike. The 22″ (550a) wheels aren’t sold in many bike shops in the U.S., unfortunately. But you can get them online here: http://www.sheldonbrown.com/harris/tires/490.html

What color is yours? Is everything else stock and working? Where did you find it?

What bike is better, a mountain bike or a folding bike?

I wonder because you're buying a bike, but I do not know that one to choose. please help.

If you live in a city …. Choose a folding bike, that ports and subways and in cars and in confined spaces. Mountain bikes is stronger, of course, but are ideal for rough terrain, rough. I live in a city and a mountain bike and (I regret), so it's obvious which one I want.
