I am a truck driver and I would like to take a folding bike with me for the times when I have a longer layover. Just to go a few miles to go do something, or to get to a bus to go places. This is why I want a TOKYO Citizen Bike 16" because it folds so small to fit in my truck.
My question is I am 6' and 190lbs, is this bike going to fit me? Their Website recommends the 20" for taller riders. But like I said the smaller the better for storage in my truck.
The reputation is that the frame and hinges on Citizens don't feel as sturdy as Dahons or Terns.
Citizen bikes are also relatively heavy and geared very low.
The Bike Friday Tikit is a GREAT bike but costs almost 10 times as much as the Tokyo.
A reasonable option might be a Downtube folding bike, as they have a better reputation than Citizen with comparable prices.
