Hi,

I've been looking into folding bikes so much and I've gotten myself in such a muddle now that I really would appreciate some help from you experienced folks!

I'm not a serious cyclist, I like to take my bike out 3 times a week and generally do 20/30 miles each time, although I would like to tackle some 60-100 mile charity events in the future.

I'm getting a new car that I can't fit a bike rack/roof rack to, so this is why I thought about going down the folding bike route where I can fairly easily get it into the back of the car with the seats down without the hassle of trying to manoeuvre a full size bike in there.

My price range is around £500, although I would consider a a bit more than this if it is from Evans cycles (I get discount from there)
I mostly travel on flat/gravel roads, with a few hills on some of the cycle trails I go on.

Some of the bikes I have been looking at are Tern Joe and Bickerton Docklands, but I really have no idea what's best for the money and what will provide a comfortable ride, I have looked at the smaller wheel folding bikes but it looks like the riding position would be uncomfortable for long journeys??

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
