Yup. Its that time of year where the bikes going to get grafted, things are going to break and inevitably I'm going to fall off my bike at some point. So I chose today to clean the Tern up and fix a few bits on it I've been meaning to do since... Well. Pre-COVID? The … Continue reading The Winter Tune Up
Burley Travail first thoughts
Having recently acquired myself a Fiido D2S, and then finding myself rather liking it's quirky and rather aggressive styling I pretty much committed myself to not covering it in luggage. The Wild Man case fulfilled a good purpose when it comes to carrying a pump and a few other bits, but I needed to get … Continue reading Burley Travail first thoughts
Lighting Up The Night
Autumn is definitely here now and the nights are really beginning to draw in. Being seen in the poor light is absolutely essential and some would say you can't put a price on safety; but sadly not all of us are made of money, so here's The Folding Bike Club's guide to buying lights and … Continue reading Lighting Up The Night
Wild Man 1.2L Crossbar Case Review
So did I say I bought a foldie E-Bike? Well I did! I love it, but I've found a huge flaw with it's design: none of my luggage actually fits, well apart from my under saddle bag, but that holds very little in the way of luggage and is already full with my tool kit. … Continue reading Wild Man 1.2L Crossbar Case Review
First Impressions – Fiido D2S
So I've added an E-Bike to my armoury, and of course it had to be a foldie! After much soul seeking and thought I picked the Fiido D2S (rather than opting for the earlier D2). A rather funky looking little machine with a rear swing arm suspension system and chunky 16" 1.95 tyres. The whole … Continue reading First Impressions – Fiido D2S
Ortlieb Gravel Pack Panniers Review
Ortlieb Gravel Pack Panniers I've owned these panniers for about two years or so now, and think it's time they got a write up. So initially they were bought for the front rack on my foldie. The rack wouldn't allow any panniers on the front that I had, due to the bottom hook/clips being too … Continue reading Ortlieb Gravel Pack Panniers Review
Mid Term Review – Zelter Shelter 2020
Let me first of all state that I'm a terribly lazy camper. When we got our new inflatable tent a couple of years ago I was in awe at not having to fold up poles. Life was easy. My laziness was satisfied. Now skip to 2019 and I first see a thing called a Zelter … Continue reading Mid Term Review – Zelter Shelter 2020
Fit Flip Microfibre Towel
Ever since I first listened to The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy as a kid, I have made it a point to always know where my towel is at. Maybe that's why Kris let me review this product. The long standing problem with my previous microfiber travel towels has been size. As far as I … Continue reading Fit Flip Microfibre Towel
The First Foldie-Roll
The first Foldie-Roll took place on Saturday to Sunday and it was a great success. Here's to the next - bigger - event. The site shows excellent potential for future larger gatherings and we'll certainly be using it again! Plus there's decent shops and a couple of large pubs within about 15 minutes ride. Our … Continue reading The First Foldie-Roll
LTR : Schwalbe Marathon 16″ tyres
Folding bikes always get branded as road bikes. It's a sad fact, and whilst perhaps you wouldn't want to ride down from the summit of Scafell Pike on a Brompton, here at The Folding Bicycle Club like to push the boundaries with regards to what can be done on these tiny folding marvels. Most folding … Continue reading LTR : Schwalbe Marathon 16″ tyres
