Can you imagine a world without foldable bicycles? They make storage and portability a breeze. Plus, with the steady rise of cycling and all the upgrades made to bicycle lanes across the island, there’s truly no better time to pick one up for yourself. So, whether you’re a first-timer or are looking to replace your bicycle, check out the best shops to buy foldable bikes in Singapore no matter your budget.

But first up, here’s why foldable bicycles are better than regular bicycles in a country like Singapore

Foldable bikes fit pedestrian tracks perfectly

If you’ve walked on a pedestrian path or ridden a bicycle on one before, you know that sharing narrow paths can be a real pain. This is one of the main reasons why folding bikes are great for shared tracks — they’re much smaller than regular bikes and are much more nimble and controllable.

Foldable bikes are easy to transport and save a lot of space

Foldable bikes are especially great for those of us who live in HDB flats or condos as they don’t need a large storage space. Not only that, you can also easily tuck them into your car or the MRT — this is the best way if you want to enjoy exploring new trails around the island.

Foldable bikes offer better security

Because they’re so small when folded, you don’t need to worry about leaving them outside the house, the restaurant or even a public toilet. This means that the chances of your bicycle getting stolen are significantly lesser compared to those who own bigger bicycles. You’ll also need not worry about leaving them out in the open sun or rain. 😊

Are there any drawbacks to buying a foldable bicycle?

They may not be versatile enough

Frankly, many foldable bicycles typically don’t do well over longer distances but this depends on various factors like quality, size and weight. They may also tire you out faster because smaller wheels mean higher rolling resistance.

Another important factor to consider when buying a foldable bike is the type of terrain that you’ll be riding on. If you prefer urban cycling, then foldable bikes are definitely ideal. However, they can come under a lot of strain if you hit bumpy off-road trails that are filled with jolts and vibrations.
