Bickerton 1808 Folding Bike

The Bickerton 1808 is a compact folding bike built around a lightweight aluminium frame, finished in Raven Black. It's designed as a practical carry-and-ride solution for urban commuting and mixed-use cycling where storage space is tight. The 16-inch wheels and folding frame mean it collapses down to a size that fits easily in a car boot, making it suited to anyone who needs to combine cycling with driving or wants to store a bike without dedicating much space at home.

This particular bike has been serviced and is ready to ride. The frame and components have been checked over, greased, and tightened up, with a new inner tube fitted. The aluminium construction keeps the overall weight down, which matters when you're folding and unfolding the bike regularly or carrying it any distance. The 16-inch wheels work well for the stop-start rhythm of town cycling and city commuting, keeping the bike responsive in traffic and contributing to the tight packed size. Longer flat distances will require more effort than you'd get from larger wheels, but for typical urban journeys the wheel size is fit for purpose.

The Bickerton 1808 works for commuters who split their journey between cycling and car travel, or for riders who need a bike that doesn't dominate their living space when not in use. It's equally at home as a second bike for mixed trips across town or as a straightforward daily commuter for shorter distances.
