Folding bikes come in all shapes and sizes from the small-wheeled models designed to tuck away on public transport to full-size comfort bikes. Somewhere in the middle is the folding mountain bike.

A few years ago the mountain bike's rugged, off-road style became popular and many suburban cyclists now happily ride them around town. With its chunky tires and dozens of gears, the bike designed to go up and down mountains is now an urban style icon. So it's no surprise that folding mountain bikes are growing in popularity - they give you the best of both worlds.

The latest folding mountain bike to arrive on the scene is the SwissBike LX, built by Montague Corporation of Massachusetts, and CRAIG HILL has an excellent review of it on the News Tribune. He says:

"The bike folds up small enough to put in your trunk, closet or your checked luggage at the airport. And, if you ever need to sky-dive with a mountain bike, this is the perfect bike."

Craig's review details his experiences hands-on with the SwissBike over a period of 10 days and his conclusions?

"The SwissBike is sturdy and versatile and seems like an ideal option
for those who want a bike they can store in the truck of their car."
