I want a bicycle. I have nowhere to store it, and I suspect it would be stolen within a week. Not enough room inside either. Also, I haven't biked in...20 years!

The other commenter is totally right about it being “like riding a bike.” My kids started riding and I had a bike but hadn’t ridden in like 15 years probably, so I was a little apprehensive about trying it again. It was no problem at all.

If ebikes you're something youd consider l, they make some that fold.

It's (a lot) like riding a bike, it'd come right back!

A hinged vertical bike hanger can save a lot of room, particularly if you mount it in a corner.

You should considere a folding bike! I have a Priority Folder and I love it.

[–] mesamunefire@piefed.social 1 points 48 minutes ago

I was thinking of getting one. What made you decide to get a priority folder?

Im looking for one that I can take to work and back, and can easily fold up without too many long term repairs. Ive heard horror stories about fixing some old folding bikes but ive never had one.

[–] pasdechance@jlai.lu 6 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

That would probably work. The local shops cannot seem to keep folding bikes in stock here.

[–] SharkWeek@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I'd recommend a test ride before you buy one, I tried a couple and found them to be not nearly as useable as a cheap old mountain bike for actually enjoying riding.

A friend used to be a big Brompton fan, but it made sense for her because she lived in central London.

[–] pasdechance@jlai.lu 3 points 4 hours ago

I would have to test no matter what. I'm on the tall side.

[–] DudeImMacGyver@kbin.earth 3 points 6 hours ago

I've got 1 folding bike (so far) and a couple folding ebikes: Would recommended.

I want to pick up a Takachia trifold too, but money is tight.
