About Folding Bikes

Highly Accomplished Bikes, which Fold as Well

⊕ Click images to enlarge.

A few brands—prominently among them Brompton and Giant—offer bikes which ride and handle superbly and fold quickly with ease and crisp predictability. These brands are also reliable, durable and strongly supported.

Some of our customers are buying their folders as much for the fabulous ride and style as for the convenient fold: Experience for yourself the elation of the nimble ride on a well designed small wheeled bicycle.

Test Rides

Our shop is located in Seattle's Ballard neighborhood. For the initial supervised test spin our private parking lot is adequate and safe with passable side streets just around the corner. If you prefer we shall also be glad to ride with you. The steep hills up Phinney Ridge are only a short ride away as is e.g. the Burke Gilman trail (and if heading Westward its new addition from the Chittenden Locks to Shilshole). Crisp, stylish loaner helmets provided or bring your own of course. Come in, test ride and compare!

Product Support, Service and Parts

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.

Pricing

Prices are listed on the page of each brand. Check also the feature 'Build your own Brompton'. All new folders are sold expertly assembled, tuned and adjusted, including specifically what is required to activate the manufacturer's warranty. A free new bike service within 60 days is included.
