If you live in a condo or an apartment, or even a house without a garage, finding space to store a bicycle can be tough. Not everybody wants it sitting in the living room where it’s going to be tripped over by people coming and going, and if you live in a damp climate, you may not want to leave your bike sitting outside on the porch. Also, there’s the problem of transporting your bicycle to and from the bike trail (for when you live in the city and cruising the streets amidst pedestrians and traffic isn’t that exciting). For that, you pretty much have to buy a dedicated car rack, unless… you have a bicycle that folds in half so you can fit it in a closet or the trunk of your vehicle.
The Jeep Compass folding bike is designed to do just that. Its aluminum frame bends in half at the middle, to make it easy to transport or store when you come home. Expect to pay $300 for this convenience.
