Over the last year a few people on this forum have talked about the value of creating a wiki-guide to folding bikes, to which we could all contribute - not least to help the considerable number of people who come by here looking for advice on where to start when buying a folder. Having just looked at the truly dreadful guide to folders on AtoB's website discussed at
http://bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=294598 , I thought it was time to get one up and running.
The wiki can be found at
http://foldingbikes.wikispaces.com/ - its not looking that fancy at the moment, but given time will hopefully grow in content and appearance.
The intention is that front page should be not much more than an index leading to a page on each major folding bike manufacturer, with pages below that for individual models where appropriate. Pages on individual models would follow the format
- bike name
- photo
- brief description
- pros
- cons
- recommended useage
- ave price new/used ($/£)
- links to relevant discussion threads on this forum.
Its going to be a couple of weeks before I have time to start working on content, but if in the meantime (or subsequently) any of you guys fancy contributing, please go ahead - in fact without your contributions it won't work as a resource at all!
