Folding bikes

[inlinesix]

When i first gotten it, wifey keeps suaning me for the price paid. However seeing the compactness of the fold and the build quality, she is tempting to get one for herself. Yes it is expensive, but there are foldies which are much more expensive yet nowhere close to Brompton.  

 

Whenever i ride to work, i can park it in any corner of my office.  No body will notice it.

get used. depreciation is low too so if not happy can sell off at little lost. brompton has best resale value among all foldies

 

Even Brompton bag can fetch good price on used market.

Choice bike for NParks can't be wrong.

Technically yes but i suggest get a proper pump abt $30 or so..

Pump up before each ride abt 85psi.

Not all pumps at petrol stations can pump up to 80-100 PSI. For perspective, our car tire ranges 28-34 psi. 

I am using Topeak Joe Blow. Worth the investment. Min effort, max efficiency.

The pump is too fast for small tyre.

It will never pump till 85psi (despite the pump said so).

Same. 2, 3 strokes enough to top up.

Yah surprisingly easy to do. For my MTB at 40psi and my foldie at 100psi all no problem and effortless. Before that I got a foot pump from Decathlon which was a nightmare to use. Threw it away after I got the replacement.

Happen to saw this online, wonder if this is good for daily usage? Like can I ride to ECP or PCN etc?
