Comes complete with scary pseudo-celebrity :)

Seriously, though, you might be as well looking round at Halfords and such like?

i have had a few folding type bikes in the past and the ones i have had were heavy awkward to fold and awkward to handle to put in the car boot so i should take this into account when you look round , i think i saw 1 or 2 for sale in towsure at holme lane a while ago you could try them , depends if you want new or secondhand , if i was looking for a used one i would not pay more than about 30 quid .
