So I finally ventured out today on my Carrera Intercity folder that I bought a couple of weeks ago.
I packed it into the car and drove to the local town to ride around the park (big, wide paths and no cars!)
I have to say I’m very impressed by it - I’m 6’ 2” and on the heavier side and the ride was much more comfortable than I’d anticipated (even if I did look ridiculous!).
The steering is much “faster” than I’m used to on my MTB and nearly caught me out a couple of times on the sharper bends, but other than that it felt fairly normal to ride.
It obviously caters to a different market to the higher end folders but for what I’m using it for I’m struggling to find fault with it yet.
Good to know you don’t need to spend a small fortune to get into cycling. I can’t wait to get out again!
