You can store it under your desk at work, on your bookshelf at home, above your head on the train and hold it in your hands on the tube; the folding bike has revolutionised daily commuting.

Running up and down platforms looking for the bike carriage and avoiding certain underground lines that don’t allow bikes on board can all become distant memories if you get yourself one of these.

Folding bikes may have been around for decades but they are in the prime of their popularity today. With dozens of brands, hundreds of designs and an abundance of colours to choose from, the days of folding bikes being considered ‘uncool’ are long gone.

Here are ten fantastic folding finds that you could call your own for less than a grand. And with our cheapest coming in at just £575, these bikes don’t cost anything in comparison to an annual London travelcard.
