Bickerton foldable bicycle, 20 inch wheels

The Bickerton Junction is a compact folding bike built around 20-inch wheels and an aluminium frame that's designed to fold down small enough for storage in a flat, office, or to carry onto public transport. It's a practical tool for urban cycling and mixed commuting, where portability matters as much as the ride itself.

The frame is aluminium, which keeps the weight down compared to steel alternatives, making it easier to manhandle when you're folding and unfolding or carrying it up stairs. The bike runs caliper side-pull brakes, which are straightforward to maintain and adjust, and uses hub gears for simplicity—no derailleurs to knock out of line or cables to stretch. The 20-inch wheels are typical for this class of folding bike, small enough to contribute to a compact fold but still large enough to roll reasonably well through the city.

Day to day, the Bickerton works well for short urban journeys and the routine of commuting when you're combining cycling with trains or buses. The fold makes it genuinely portable without being so small that it becomes awkward to ride. The bike in question is in good working order but will benefit from a service before regular use—a routine check of the gears, brakes, cables, and chain will have it running smoothly.

This suits anyone who needs a secondary bike that travels, or a primary commuter where storage space is tight and public transport is part of the journey. It's straightforward, practical, and does the job it's designed for without fuss.
