Folding Bikes

Folding bikes are a special class of bicycle that fulfill a variety of different bicycling needs and interests. A folding bicycle can be stored in places that a conventional bike will not fit, such as car trunks, small boats, and as "conventional-sized" airline luggage (not subject to increased luggage fares on trips).

People use folding bikes who live in apartments and do not have a convenient place to store them. They are very popular with those who own recreational vehicles, and use them at campsites during trips, storing them inside the RV while traveling. Some people doing extended tours of overseas destinations choose touring-equipped folding bikes for long sightseeing trips. They take advantage of the ability to stow them away on trains and busses in the midst of their cross-country trip.

The Dahon Curve SL

Two surprising things about a good folding bike are how similar it can be made to feel to a conventional bike in "fit", and the level of performance which is attainable.

TTR carries the Dahon line of folding bikes in a variety of styles including those with 20" and 26" wheels.

We now carry bikes from Melon Bicycle, an Asheville-based company that is interested in a lot of the same things that we are: stylish utility, user-friendly bikes, internal-hub drivetrains—really, all kinds of cool stuff. We have their 20" folder, the slice, in stock. It's a clean, sharp-looking bike that's surprisingly light compared to other bikes in the category
