A folding bicycle is a type of bicycles which can fold and unfold (most bicycles fold once).
They are popular in the Orient and the United Kingdom, less so in the United States.
Common types include the Brompton bicycle (British), the Dahon bicycle (Made in Taiwan, although headquartered in California), the Bike Friday (American), and the Airnimal (Great Britain).
The wide variety of folding bicycles reflects different ideas about what a folding bicycle should be. The Brompton, for example, is optimized for sturdiness, quick deployment, and small size. The Airnimal, by contrast, is designed for cyclists who wish to pack it convieniently; it takes a long time to fold and unfold, but is very like a regular bike in uses.
A foldingbicycle or folder is a type of bicycle that incorporates a number of hinges or joints, which may be lockable, that permit it to be folded into a more compact size.
Foldingbicycles are popular in East Asia and the United Kingdom, but are less common in the United States.
While foldingbicycles are usually smaller in overall size than conventional bicycles, the distances between center of bottom bracket, the top of the saddle and the handlebars, the primary factors in determining whether a bicycle fits its rider, are usually similar to that of conventional bikes.
Foldedbicycles can be taken free of charge on all sections of the network at all times.
In certain cases, as listed, non-folding bicycles may also be taken during rush hour in the opposite direction to the majority of travellers.
Non-folding bicycles may be taken between Queen's Park and Harrow and Wealdstone in the morning peak and vice versa in the evening peak, and in both directions outside peak times.
