thinking of getting a folding bike to commute to my workplace daily (~500m).and possibly for on-off riding to gym,swimming pool,etc etc around 1-2km.

i live on 6th floor...so mtb or single gear bike is out of consideration.

btw 20'' is weird to ride or not?i need to ride fast (busy roads) and there are some bukits.

how about 26'' folding bike?do you guys recommend..i saw some people sell 26'' foldie around 800.

exactly like how I was thinking before buying folding bike.

guess what, I decided to buy 20" folding bike and ride it like a boss without worry, turn out people looked and said it was rather attractive rather than weird tongue.gif

Now I even thinking of getting myself 16", so it is going to be much easier when im going to travel by bus or anything biggrin.gif

Your 16" should look like this

I would rather look silly than be sorry when accident happens.

bro, you care too much on how people look at you. take it easy.

no rule said you must wear helmet but we usually encourage people to wear it.

if helmet make you feel safer, wear it.
if you dont like to wear, up to you.

as long as you dont wear something like kangkung, then you wont looks as a weirdo by others
