Quoted By:

Folding bikes are actually more useful for suburbanites than urbanites. If you live in the city you'll just use something from the bike share network and not have to worry about getting the stink eye from the shop attendant or waiter or the doorman for carrying in a dirty wad of machinery (don't you see the no bikes sign !?!??!?!!)

If I were to get a folding bike I'd get something that doesn't have a complete embarrassment of a userbase.

Hated because they're retarded and have tiny wheels.
Public transport needs to allow me to take my bike on or I won't use it.

I like mine
It's nice to have a bike that can fit in your friend's car no matter how full of crap is inside
Biggest problem is getting the seat pointing completely straight forward after unfolding

This board sucks off an "acceptable" subset of bikes

I love Bromptons for their merits and because I'm not a massive underage faggot that forms his opinions based on what an item's "userbase" is, like some casuals ITT.

I gave my cheapo folding bike away and bought a road bike. The space savings are cool but the tiny wheels and lack of gears were not.

Someone talk me out of buying a Brompton. I travel by train a lot and wish I had a bike with me every time. Also I just hate locking up my road bike and worrying someone will steal at least the saddle and to lug around my 2kg Abus lock.

Wait, do you guys not live in a city where your buses have bike racks on the front where you can store a full size bike for free while you ride?

Because I live in a mid sized city of a million people and we've had that for years. Sucks to be you guys I guess.

You can take a bike on the Amtrak and as of maybe 10 years ago when I did it, on all Eurail trains including IC just not TGV.

Trains on 'offpeak' hours, trollies never.

Uhm, yeah? Exactly.

Also shit business practices in recent years like making spare parts exclusive to official Brompton partner repair shops and introducing completely needless model year changes just so older models have to be replaced someday for a lack of spare parts. They literally held up too well in the past, and now they're being "fixed" with planned obsolence.
