There are a lot of not-very-good-bikes -- usually refered to as "bike shaped objects". These cheap bikes make the good folding bikes seem expensive. (Is this like an "overton window"?)

A good folding bike is probably a great choice for many people.




A good folding bike, at best, is a decent bike. Folding bikes have smaller wheel diameters, lower frame stiffness, and larger relative weight.


and carrying your folded bike around with you when you aren't riding it is far less convenient than carrying a lock while you're riding the bike.
