There are few who’d deny thata folding bike can be a huge asset for city-dwellers who enjoy cycling around town: not only are they lightweight and portable, but they can be taken onto public transit or fit into small apartments with ease. The folks at Vello Bike have designed a brilliant, high-performance folding bike that requires only a simple kick to fold and roll it into place, allowing the bicycle to be carried or taken onto public transit without any hassle. These bikes include some of the best features of racing and folding bikes, and also integrate functions that are ideally suited to the demands of an urban lifestyle, such as front and rear lights integrated into the bike’s frame, and foldable fenders that protect clothing in all types of weather. Although they’ve already surpassed their Kickstarter goal, now is the perfect time to get one of the first-run bikes in time for the winter holidays.
