One of my first purchases after moving from an urban high-rise apartment to a house in the ‘burbs was a bike. Sure, there were plenty of places to ride in the city, but with only two closets and about a million toys, I simply didn’t have the space to store a bicycle too. Ah, the sacrifices we moms make for our kids.
If I’d known about SwissBike, I could have had a bike without taking up valuable toy storage space. With technology that originally began as a military research project, SwissBike grew into a line of performance folding bicycles.
Yes, really. These full-size bikes fold compactly in about 30 seconds, no tools required. And don’t think that SwissBike sacrifices quality for convenience; all parts are industry standard, serviceable at any bike store.
Of course, these bikes aren’t cheap–the SwissBike commuter model retails for $699, and it’s only available online. But SwissBike offers a 30-day trial ride, no questions asked. Considering that I spent ten years living without a bike because I didn’t have room to store one, I think the price is pretty darned reasonable.
Plus, riding a bike to work as opposed to riding the subway? No contest. -Julie
