Small Wheel Bicycle
Small wheel bicycles are adult bicycles which have wheels of 20 inch nominal diameter or less, which is smaller than the 26" or 700c sizes common on most full-sized adult bikes. While many folding bicycles are small wheel bicycles, not all small wheel bicycles can fold. Some small wheel bicycles neither fold nor separate, such as the Moulton, which comes in both fixed frame and separable frame versions. While BMX bikes also have 20" wheels, they are not normally categorised as 'small wheel bikes'.

Famous quotes containing the words small, wheel and/or bicycle:
“The small sleek one wants to stop,
docile to the imploring soul of the trashbasket,
but the young tall curly one
wants to walk on; the glistening sidewalk
entices him to arcane happenings.”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
“Let the wheel spin out,
Till all created things
With shout and answering shout
Cast off rememberings....”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“Consider a man riding a bicycle. Whoever he is, we can say three things about him. We know he got on the bicycle and started to move. We know that at some point he will stop and get off. Most important of all, we know that if at any point between the beginning and the end of his journey he stops moving and does not get off the bicycle he will fall off it. That is a metaphor for the journey through life of any living thing, and I think of any society of living things.”
—William Golding (b. 1911)
