I stayed on the Centenary site in the New Forest the other week, and decided to take my folding bike as I thought this would be more convenient to transport and store. What do other members think of folding bikes compared to normal size bikes? Does anyone have a folding bike and what make would you recommend?

CY I have the Evora electric explorer from bicycles4u.com. I bought it purely for touring based on reviews on other sites. It's as light as my previous steel framed folder. They don't seem to have that model any more but they have a similar style which is shaft driven for £649.
Very light, very easy to use, well priced replacement batteries.

We have had our Bromptons for 15years and have done mileage in the thousands, here and on the continent they have never let us down and replacement parts are easy to obtain. Easy to ride,easy to fold to go on a train or in the back of a car. However the price (currently around a £1000) is only worth paying if you are going to get a lot of use out of them.

We would agree with Tigi. We also own Bromptons and they get as near to riding a good full sized bike as you can get, primarily due I think to their long wheel base vis a vis other folding bikes. They are also probably the most compact of all folding bikes which makes them great for taking away in the car.
