Hi!

I’m new to the forum and new to biking in general.

I’m planning to get a folding bike for work commuting and the occasional casual weekend beach trip. I like how folding bikes look and I think I’d enjoy riding them. I’m 5’7’’ and thin. Actual foldability is not crucial, but it’s a nice bonus.

Any recommendations for a $600 budget (hitting $500 would be even better)? I’ve been doing some reading on these forums, but I’m overwhelmed by the variety. I wish something like The Wirecutter was available for bikes. Dahon comes up often, but even there are too many models. I like the looks of a curved frame over the straight ones.

I’m in West L.A. in case that helps.

Thanks!

UPDATE: I think I'll double my budget and get a new Brompton instead.
