What Do People Think about Citizen Folding Bikes?
 

I've been reading a lot of threads on this forum and have learned a lot about Dahon and Downtube bikes. However, I have seen almost nothing on Citizen folding bikes. I had pretty much made up my mind to purchase a Citizen Miami because (a) it's cheap; (b) it's a known brand; (c) I only need a bike for short commutes (less than five miles) and errands; and (d) I want a new (i.e., not used) bike. But after reading some of the posts on this site, I'm worried that Citizen bikes might be badly-made and/or will fall apart on me. Any opinions, advice, suggestions, etc. would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

For as cheap as they are, they are grossly overpriced. They weigh a lot more than what they claim.

For less money, you could get a used Downtube.

For slightly more money, you could get a new Downtube.

Downtubes are great values.

+1 OK bike but heavy for what it is. Downtubes far better.

I never think about Citizen bikes. Except now.

+1 Down tube. Is Citizen a bicycle brand? I thought they made watches.

it's cheap- I regularly buy cheap bikes and have had to replace stuff like wheels and drive train on them.
