Foldable Bike Recommendations

We are looking into getting a foldable bike to take with us on trips. Nothing fancy, just something to run up to the campstore with.

Has anyone got any recommendations about make and models? not looking to spend 500 dollars but want something decent.

Thanks,

Scott

We have 2 single speed

We have 2 single speed folders that we bought from Camping World a few years ago.  Folding bikes are a compromise, but they work for us. The eccentric locks the frame tightly.

The troulbe with foldable

The troulbe with foldable bikes from Camping World is the pedal arms are way too short. Great for kids but NOT adults.

Flyboy,

Flyboy,

Your knees must be in better condition than mine.  I have even increased the rear sprockets to 20 teeth.  Ours pedal very easily at walking traffic speeds.  My other bike has 165 mm cranks.
