This forum needs a "Guide to Folding Bikes" Sticky

I'm new to this folding section and know nothing about all the brands out there. I was expecting a sticky that offered an overview and guide to folding bikes. I'm surprised there isn't one. I would do it myself but I don't know jack about folding bikes which is why I'm here. I'm new to this folding section and know nothing about all the brands out there.

Sorry, once I realized my post came full circle I had to repeat it!

hi Steve, welcome. There is this facility called google. You could try "folding bike buyers guide", or, to be particularly helpful I would recommend you could try "googling", as it is called "the folding society", and there you will be able to find the kind of thing you are looking for.

Oh, I was wondering to about your name, but the answer is here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macaroni_(fashion) am I right?

Where I come from a sticky has another meaning, and I am going to get outside one. Cheers !

Ahh.. I see. This "google" you speak of... does it also direct one to sites where individuals offer patronizing responses to simple suggestions? If this "google" has such a facility, then by golly I should probably take my sarcasm elsewhere!

hi Steve, and there you go, thats the problem with written communications, I thought the patronization was coming the other way, what with the repetition and all. And if you google "the folding society", you will actually find what you want....
