Folding Bikes

Found this pic while going through some old photos. Was the first time i'd seen a "folding bike" in person, and i was sooo impressed with how small it folded down. As you can see, i kind of had to hunch over to get myself in the photo.


They have obvious benefits for taking a bike in the car - or for people short on garage space (you could easily store it in the corner of any room). But last week i found out another advantage. Folded bikes are allowed on the train even during peak hour. (Normal bicycles only in off-peak times)

So if the only problem with the train is that the walk is too far - now it's not a problem. Just unfold the bike and ride from station! :)
