WHAT IS A FOLDING BIKE
Ever since there have been bicycles, people have been trying to transport them more easily. Around 1890 folding bikes were already on the market, but these were mainly used by the French and American armies to move their troops as easily as possible. It was only after the Second World War that production for private cyclists really took off. This was mainly due to the increase in commuting. That is and remains the biggest reason for people to use a folding bike. For holidays, they are also becoming increasingly popular because they take up little space during the trip. Think of campers or caravans. No bike carrier? No problem, the folding bike also fits easily in your cars trunk.
