Hiya guys,
I've been toying with the idea of a folding bike for a while. I want to use it so I can park a little bit further away form work and avoid horrible parking charges and cycle down the canal into work (less than 1 mile).
So really it doesn't need to go very far, I just want something that will fit in my boot, fold up and down pretty easily and get me short distances.
Because its got a simple use and I'm still not 'sold' I was looking at budget options. Saw an Apollo in Halfords yesterday and also the Challenge Holborn from Argos for £130.
I'm determined not to pay more than £200 ...but was wondering if there was any thoughts on the best option under this price point?
I realise that I'd be better spending a little bit more for longevity and that ideally I should be getting a Brompton or Dahon, but as I'm not quite convinced about the whole idea that's why I'm shopping at this value.
Thanks for any help you can give
