Folding Bicycle - Portability

Portability

Many public transportation systems ban or restrict unfolded bicycles, but allow folded bikes all or some of the time. For example Transport for London allows folding bikes to be carried at any time on buses and Underground lines, but allows unfolded bicycles on Tube trains only outside of peak times, and then only on lines that do not have escalator access. Some transport operators only allow folding bicycles if they are enclosed in a bag or cover. Airline baggage regulations often permit folding bikes as ordinary luggage, without extra cost.
