Why would you choose a folding bike ?

1.Can we offer you a cocktail ?

With your Brompton or Tern, experience how you can easily and cleverly combine cycling and other means of tranpsortations to commute. That’s what urban planners call «cocktail transport» : use your bike to get to the train station, end a car trip with a bike, go and grab one «remote» Communauto Flex. Possibilities are great and a folding bike is a fantastic tool for eco-friendly commutes.

STM accepts every folding bikes aboard bus or metro, any time of the day. Make sure it is folded when you enter the station or the bus and pay attention to others. Once folded, the bike is no bigger than a backpack between your legs…

Brompton et auto-partage : c’est si simple!

There’s no need to own a car : you can rent one easily with your folding bike. How many times will you find yourself so «smart» when entering a car-rental location?

2. Save space

Once you’ve folded it, your bike is very small. That makes it easy to carry it over your appartment and store it.

3. Avoid bike theft

You never have to lock your bike outside. Just carry it inside wherever you go. Yes, it’s possible in most places.

A small portable lock is only needed when you know you’ll have to leave your bike unattented, e.g. when you leave it at your dentist’s hall.

Abus Granit 640 or Ottolock Cinch are great for folding-bike owners.

8. Save money

No parking lots, no tickets, no insurance fees, no gaz. How much does it make ? A LOT of money per year. Go ahead, do the maths !

9. Be spontaneous

If you travel, carry your bike with you. You can’t imagine what you’ll find at the end of this little alley… maybe the best bakery of all times. Maybe the most wonderful micro-brewery’s terrasse. Unfold, go… you have the bike in your car !
