Folding Bikes West

Shown here in our Seattle store are three of Giant's uniquely designed, elegant models which also ride superbly: The Halfway (background), Clip and ExpressWay 1 (foreground).

Frankly we do not know how Giant Bicycle Company can come up with such elegant folders which ride so superbly, fold with such predictable ease, and have proven so durable—starting at a mere $425. But then of course it only matters that Giant knows how.

Concerned about finding competent, experienced and committed service, as well as parts, for your folder? Our full service department was established in 1996. It is staffed to preferentially support the owners of the bikes they bought from us—and to do so expertly, promptly and flexibly.

Giant Clip folding bike

While the gorgeous Clip may at first glance be described as 'a fashion statement on wheels' considering its uniquely elegant frame incorporating a single side front fork and single side rear stay (*), and half moon shaped folding pedals these form part of a seriously substantive specification way beyond flair and flash.

The Clip provides a comfortable and enjoyable ride with smooth 8-speed (34-87 gear inches) twist grip shifting and confidence inspiring handling and braking.

The Clip weighs 25 lb and folds quickly, crisply and predictably to about 16 x 34 x 20". No need to 'wrestle' this folder: It rather rests firmly on a clever center kick stand which pops down the instant the telescoping seat post is lowered. In orange. Specs.

(*) Not only elegant but now you can fix a flat without removing the wheel!

$795. In stock, orange only.

Giant Halfway folding bike

Models proliferate, come and go. The uniquely elegant Halfway is designed by Mike Burrows, the renowned British bicycle designer. The Halfway arrived remarkably evolved and stayed on.

The Halfway has by now proved durable way beyond industry standards.

This model folds simpler and quicker than any other folder sold by us. To 12 x 32 x 32".

The design of the Halfway's beam frame, folding lock and handle bar stem contribute to a rigid, comfortable and nimble ride. The single side fork and rear stay (*) are among the Halfway's several intriguing and elegant features. Comes complete with custom rear rack, fenders and even a light carrying bag. 7-speed (34-74 gear inches). Weight 29 lbs. In black. Specs.

(*) Not only elegant but now you can fix a flat without removing the wheel!
