Why don't we have good cheap folding bicycles that we can fold into a backpack and then take inside or on buses etc?Why can't the chinese make cheap folding bicycles?
>>108828879making a foldable bike that fits into a backpack requires you to make the frame so thin that it doesn't have enough structural rigidity to support the weight of a human plus the acceleration forces during riding (jumping onto/off curbs, forceful pedalling uphill, sudden braking.)furthermore... itll be filthy, and folding it you will get your hands filthy, and putting it into your backpack will make the inside of your bag filthy.foldable bicycles are simply not a good solution to the problem of self transportation.
>>108828879Why make a folding bicycle when we could aim for a folding car we can take on to the bus?
>>108829069Pokemon had folding bicycles 20 years ago
>>108829416erm source?
>>108828879But they exist?
>>108829943Wheels are too small but that's pretty amazing
>>108830011>Wheels are too small Well yeah. I thought you wanted it to fit in your backpack?
>>108830162Anyway have you tried it? I looked it up on the Alibaba express and there's many white people who are mad at the seller
>>108828879if youre cycling just to take public transport, why not just cycle the entire way?
>>108830462its too small for whites
>>108829069It is physically possible and it can be put in a thin bag/covering to contain dirt (high end folding bikes come with them already).
>>108830494Because 10 miles is way too much and buses suck and are always late so what you do is bike to the train and take that. Trains don't go everywhere so once you get off you save time walking.
>>108830528>10 mileslol, lmao evenjust admit your lazy and get a car
>>108830522I wish there were cheap robust ones, haven't been able to find any that have good reviews.
>>108830564I have a car already. That's why I need this bike. Because I give my wife the car and then I need to bike to the car where she parks it and go home with her.
>>108830528why don't you just take your car?I love bicycles and I have an extensive collection but you obviously need a car too. it's cheaper than an entry level mountain bike.
Gayest thread I read all day and I have been to /hm/ and /fit/ already
>>108830925You think bikes are for women?
>>108828879They literally flood the markets, you can find them however most people realize it's not worth it and just go for something with nice cruising vs compact size
>>108832245feet
>>108828879Why not get a ferry service where a truck allows you to get on and dock your bike and travel sitting on it until the next station?
Only faggots ride folding bikes.
>>108828879electric scooters are the meta. my country's train service even banned bicycles during rush hours because they're just too fucking big.
>>108828879clicked this thread for anime ass on bike
