Does this bike belong to any Lowyatians?

I was just wondering why would somebody park this tiny folding bike at motorbike parking when it can be easily carried into the elevator and kept inside the office (unless it's not allowed to bring bicycle into the office, which is a bit weird because this bicycle is so tiny. sweat.gif

Or probably the person just came to visit someone (probably an interview) hmm.gif

folding not as compact as brompton. so better leave it there. But make sure you take away the removable stuff like the torchlight, cyclometer, etc.

Need some recommendation for folding bike. Planning to use it for mixed commute like car/bike or lrt/bike. I'm about 186-188cm, not sure if the 20" bikes are okay.

Also, looking at bicyclebuysell, some I noticed are RM500 and some at RM2000 despite same size, not sure what specs I should be looking at here.

mixed commuting.... if the budget is enough, get the Brompton as it has the telescopic seat post, people even taller than 6 feet can ride it.

the wheel is not suitable for off road, even though it's a mountain bike.

Hummer is a nice folding bike (I mean, even the fake Hummer). It gives a better riding experience compared to some smaller 20" foldies which are much expensive. Unfortunately, the folding and unfolding is a struggle. Also, it is not as compact even after folding (probably taking out the front tyre might help a little).

Of course, it is not for serious mountain biking. For casual cycling, it will be OK.

i love that fitted with firewheel!!

is that got different grade for these china made Hummer bike?
i saw some selling RM1k+, some selling RM8xx-9xx.
of course maybe the accessories and parts might be different light 8spd vs 24spd.

just went to test a few folding bike: dahon horize($750), dahon falco($899), bickerton junction country 1808($750), tern d8($800).
I found the bickerton is the most comfortable bike among them, also the height of it's handlebar is adjustable. but not really like the color and design.
I like the horize design and color, but i found the handlebar is a bit low.
Falco is the most stable bike, given the fact that it has a chrome steel frame, but is a little bit out of my budget, and doesn't have the matt black color which i prefer, although the orange one is also quite nice.
The look of the Tern D8 is not so appealed to me, but the handlebar is slightly higher, and is abit more comfortable compared to horize.

In dilemma now, don't know to choose which one. Mayb should go and try more bikes.
