MEC recently relaunched their Origami folding bike, now seemingly made by Polygon in Indonesia, and now it’s on sale. I’ve seen it in person and I think it looks quite well built. It’s lightweight and easy to fold, I’ve debated picking one up as second bike for travelling with my partner. They’re super easy to throw in the back of a car versus messing around with racks when going on a trip.

I’m a huge fan of folding bikes for urban commuting. I’ve been using a Zizzo Liberte for daily commuting year-round for over a year now and I’m totally convinced they’re the ideal bike for farting around to work or to get chores done. Their big advantage in the city is that you don’t need to worry about storing them in public and getting stolen, you can fold it up and store it in a private area. Plus, they can be taken on trains and public transit pretty easily, whereas a full bike has to comply with a lot of rules, time limits, or use designated racks. This 20” tire style feels very similar to a normal hybrid bike- the Brompton style 16” folders are a bit twitchy in their handling.
