Hi,
I'm looking for a good folding bike for my commute inside London. I've been looking at a few and the Apollo Transition and the Raleigh Swift look nice (I want something below the 200 pounds range).
What do you guys think about those - or should I consider other ones?
I'm somewhat tall and strong (1m85) so it does not need to be super light. I would prefer foldable as I will probably want to take them into a bus. I would like it to have a few gears, but nothing special because I don't need to go too fast or too steep.
Oh and something else I'd like to ask you guys: I never used a folding bike before - in fact its been about 10 years I've actually used a bike - so what are its shortcomings vs a normal mountain/hybrid bike?
Thanks!
