You could do it, but 20 miles every morning before and after work is a lot on any bike, unless you got a motor. A folding bike is generally used for mixing public transport with biking, not just biking. If you just want to do a 40 miles roundtrip every day you'd be better off with a full size bike. If you are already using public transport and still need to go 20 more miles you need to move or change your job :p

Bromptons have got 16" wheels. Too small for a comfortable ride. I got myself a 20" Dahon foldable bike. Much more comfortable and FUN to ride.
@maxmeier5325 жыл бұрын
If you want bigger wheels and more fun bikes you are better off with a Tern than a Dahon. Tern is better quality in general and they produce some very sporty lines with big wheels and even ultegra. That being said, a folding bike is generally used by commuters, who also generally mix their commute with a little biking, say about 2-5 miles and the rest is public transport. So there really is no need to go fast or have a super comfy ride. The bromptons are made in London, they have a long history with their bike, they have a high resale value, you can get all kinds of accessories, AND the fold is probably the smallest of all folding bikes, BY FAR. So depending on your use case there may be another folding bike out there better suiting your needs, but all around, the Brompton beats most if not all of them.
@ToxicVaccines_HivHoax5 жыл бұрын
@@maxmeier532 - Yea, that is all true. The best bike for one person may very well be unsatisfactory for another person. It all depends on what each person's needs are. It is true, no bike folds as small and neat as a brompton, and that has it's obvious appeal for a daily commuter taking the bike in to a train or bus. However, it's small size does mean that sacrifices have to be made in terms of comfort, stability and overall ride enjoyment. I paid £350 online for my Ford authorized Smax Dahon. I am happy with it. 👍👍 I saw a 20" Tern at the bike shop the other day, selling for £450. Halfords have two 20" bikes ot their stores. Raleigh £250 and a Carrera £350. Plenty of choices out there. 👍
