Fun Bikes, Fold-a-Bikes, & High Wheelers
Folding Bikes
Origin-8 Brand Folding Bicycles. High Quality, Rugged, but Lightweight, Foldable Bikes. The ideal solution for commuter or leisure riding when cramped quarters can be an issue. Perfect for planes, trains, RV's, campers, cars, buses, boats, or even closets! Sleek & contemporary, fold-up, aluminum alloy frame design with quick release levers positioned at the handlebar, stem, seat post, and frame make for fast and easy folding with no tools.
The Penny Farthing made it's first appearance in 1869, and it's still around today. It comes in different sizes, with or without a free wheel. It's not neceessarily easy to ride at first, but it is fun and worth giving it a try.
It's particularly popular with kids - especially on the smaller diameter high wheelers. It allows them to ride higher, with a better view!

How much air do I put in a tire? Do I need to wear a helmet? Why is that 3 speed more expensive than a 7 speed? Why buy from a local bike shop? What bike is right for me?
