Hello,
On more and more trains, the local company requires that bicycles be demounted and be no bigger than 120x90cm (~47x35"; No restriction on depth.)
As a more affordable alternative to the Moulton, I was wondering if a company had come up with a bike that would…
- use quick-release solutions for every part that must be taken off the bike (wheels, fenders, saddle, handlebar, front and rear racks)
- include fork + dropout + derailleur protections
- demountable or folding pedals
- include a light but sturdy bag that can be kept while touring
?
I have no idea how big the frame is on a regular bike. Would a minivelo be a definite plus?
Besides the size restriction, the idea is to to reduce the amount of time + risk of losing parts while demounting the bike on a train platform in a hurry.
Thank you.
