Used folder will not unfold
I have just purchased a used folding bike in England and I cannot get it to unfold. It is a Raleigh and I have unfolded the pedal and even removed the saddle post but the left pedal will not pass the main folding hinge / clasp. I would appreciate any help.
Thanks

Sock it well with penetrating oil then let it sit for a day or two.

Some thin oil on all hinges is a good idea.
