'London Calling' All Folding Bike Cyclists |
|
London commuters are invited to test their skills at the Smithfield Nocturne on 7th June as the Folding Bike Race returns.
The inaugural event on 23rd June 2007 saw 40 suited competitors battle it out in front of 5000 cheering spectators around Smithfield Market in central London. The ‘Le Mans’ start meant riders had to run to their bikes and assemble them before setting off around the challenging Smithfield Nocturne course. The competition for commuter glory was intense and the race became one of the highlights of the 2007 event.

Foldable Bikes 'Big In Japan' |
|
The folding bike market in Japan is estimated to be about 1 million sales a year. The total bike market in Japan is about 8-9 million with folding bikes accounting for almost 10%. Many of the folding bike brands and designs are unique to the Japanese market. It is common to see bikes branded after car manufacturers (BMW, chevrolet, Jeep, Rover, Mini etc). There is even a 26' lamborghini foldable mountain bike. Bikes in Japan are used as means of transport to get around the crowded cities. With space at a premiun, a foldable bike makes lots of sense.
