A firm favourite with commuters for decades now, folding bikes are no longer exclusive to those getting to and from work; quite the contrary, as they are now also a solid choice for those lacking storage space at home who still want to swap four wheels for two.
that we reviewed back in 2017, the Dahon Mariner D8 has 20 inch wheels compared to 16 inch on Bromptons, meaning it isn't the most compact fold on the market. If folding your bike into the smallest space possible isn't your priority, though, then the Mariner has plenty to offer for a very reasonable price.
20" wheels mean the ride should feel more 'normal' than some folders with smaller wheels, and to help with hills you get eight gears with plenty at the bottom. To fold, it's just a case of dropping the seatpost, folding the handlebar stem and then folding the frame at the main hinge.
The 13kg weight isn't the lightest around, but most of us will find this manageable for short flights of stairs and carrying on and off trains.Folding bikes are good for riding but are particularly great for commuters and those who do a lot of riding around cities, on bike paths and to the shops due to their convenient nature.
More sophisticated folders take this a step further with sections that tuck and telescope together so the folded bike is small enough to slip into places you'd never expect to fit a bike. There shouldn't be any modern folding bike out there that will take you longer than 30 seconds to fold, and with some practice you should be able to do it much faster.
