Folding Bikes Suck

I thought the folding bike was the coolest invention in the world – before I figured out how to use a blender that is. I was working for an engineering company a few miles from my house when I first heard about folding bikes.

I lived in a house in the suburbs and really didn’t need the space-saving bonus that the bike offered, so I guess I kind of suck for having it in the first place.

But I must say that after about a month of use, the bike started to wobble and weaken at it’s joints. Then one day the bars actually collapsed on me while riding. So I say this: if you don’t have a big enough apartment to store your bike, get one or plan to pay for the medical bills when your crappy bike collapses on you. And that is the end of my story.
