The new Urban Lite Range of folding bicycles offers the commuter a performance bike that folds in 15 seconds and weighs in at a welcome 9.5kgs!

Every commuting cyclist wishes for a lighter framed folding bike that they can easily carry as they use trains, buses and bicycles to get through the morning traffic. Now the Urban Lite range of folding bikes is being offered online at way below RRP.

The Urban Lite Range of Bicycles
Urban Lite bikes have the lightest frames in the world! Made from sturdy Magnesium alloy and folding in seconds, the Urban Lite range of bicycles are made for the urban commuter. The Urban Lite 1 is an extremely popular item in the range and comes in online at only £189.99 (RRP: £249.99). It is offered in a range of colours and sports Shimano 6 gears system with Revoshift twist changer, folding pedals, 16” wheels with lightweight alloy rims and a quick release seat.

This is the lightest foldable 16 inch bike in the world at 9.5kg and it folds to just 70cm x 50cm x 30cm! It’s magnesium alloy frame is stronger than aluminium and doesn’t rust like steel.

The maximum weight allowance is 105kgs and it comes with a twelve month warranty and an unfold time of just twenty (20) seconds! Currently on offer online with a FREE carry case, kick stand and lock worth over £34.00. Nice buy!

The lightweight frames ensure the Urban Lite range of bikes weigh in at under 10kgs with the lightest being the Absolut Lite carbon folding bicycle. This is the lightest 20” folding bike available on the internet today weighing in at 7.9kg! Online stockists are offering this lightweight commuter at £999.00 (well under the RRP of £1599.99.) A must for serious city commuters.

For those considering something lower in price, the Urban Lite 2, 20”, 10.5kg folder would be perfect at £199.99! Available in a variety of colours, it comes complete from some online stockists with a FREE carry case, kick stand and lock valued at around £37.00. We love the powder blue!

Online stockists now offer a broad range of light weight frame folding bicycles for adults and children encompassing mountain bikes, commuter bikes, electric bikes and recumbent bikes at prices well below recommended retail price (RRP) and often with added value items such as FREE locks, chains and kick stands.

Thinking of changing to a Folding Bike
Over half of the world's population lives in a city and each day we all endure the commute to offices, schools, coffee shops, malls and home again. One in three London commuters use the train to help ease the strain and many are now using bicycles to complete the journey either to or from the train station.

At some stage they have to carry their bicycle and, at some time in the near future trains, buses and aeroplanes will stop allowing full size bicycles on board as the push for space and weight limitation increases. So, if you are a cyclist it makes sense to buy a light weight folding bicycle now.

Owners of folding bicycles are liberal in their praise of folding bicycles. Here are a few of the advantages they've shared with us:

1. Folding bikes make commuting easier
2. The Urban Range is lighter to haul on and off public transport and generally more accepted as it folds quickly and into a small pack
3. It doesn't take up much room at home in an apartment or terraced house/flat
4. The specifications are higher on folding bikes these days
5. The prices are comparable to traditional upright bikes now
6. They are not as flimsy as they look
7. There is a wide variety of colours and types of fold ups now
8. As parking prices rise the demand for folding bikes will increase
9. A folding bike is less likely to be stolen as you can carry it with you
10. Owners feel they are helping the cities go 'green'
11. Folding bikes can be adjusted substantially to fit all (Children from around 14 years)(Max rider inside leg is 34")

As Britains 'eco-town' policy grips the country, more and more commuters will be swopping their cars for folding bicycles. Cyclists are increasingly looking to online shopping sites such as www.buybuybicycles.com to ensure that they get the bike they want at the price they can afford.

The competitors, dressed in business attire will wait 30m away from their folded bikes, at the drop of the British Flag the competitors will have to run to their steeds building them as fast as they can and setting off on a 5 lap dash.

In true commuter spirit, winner takes all - there’s no second chance when it comes to catching your train… Expect fierce competition, barging and even a little cheating as our commuters race to prove their skills.

In 2010 participants will once again need to battle it out in qualification heats to secure their spot in the grand final.

The eventual winner will be crowned the 2010 Folding Bike Champion and will receive a top of the range Dahon Speed Pro TT as their trophy.

There has been change as sales of "folders" are on the rise in the UK - about 75,000 of the 3.5 million bikes sold last year. Market leader Dahon says its sales are growing by about a third each year. UK-based Brompton says it's unable to keep pace with demand.

It may be down to technical improvements - folding bikes have improved greatly both in perfomrance and how quick and easy they are to fold (15-20 seconds for an Urban Lite folding bicycle).

Other factors have also driven sales: the London congestion charge (and similar plans in 10 other UK centres); growing awareness about exercise; affordable folding bikes, looking after the environment, and the 7 July bombings which converted many to pedal power.

The city now boasts a high-profile cycling mayor and will this year host its second folding bike race for commuters. Across the rail network, standard bikes are either banned by train companies at peak times or must be booked-in.

We are glad to announce that our Urban Lite 1, 16" folding bicycle is STILL the lightest and cheapest available on the market. With it's magnesium alloy folding frame, alloy parts and weighing in at only 9.5KG, this bike really is special. You can really only appreciate this bike when you finally lift it up. Take a look at our video demonstrating how to fold one up!
