Bicycles

I really like to ride, and I really like the flexibility to explore new places using a bike.  There are a few drawbacks to using bikes, the primary one being transpiration and storage.  Whether storing the bike on the back of your vehicle or trying to bring it on an airplane you will face all sorts of challenges.  For example, if you tell an airline the bulky box you have is "fitness equipment" you'll be charged a normal fee;  however, if you tell them it is a bicycle you'll end up paying for additional fees.  If your bringing them you on your vehicle they are in the way even when you break them down, or you have a bike rack which has its one set of challenges.

Solution = folding bike!

After review/testing a few of the folding bike options Montague pulls way ahead. To summarize:
  • Bikes fold into a 3x3x1 foot area
  • Utilizes normal bike parts for the most part (easy replacement)
  • You can't tell your on a folding bike when your riding it
Highly recommend checking out Montague Folding Bikes, I am currently looking at the Navigator for my Lady and I
