10 of the best new bikes

Tern Verge Duo

£775, evanscycles.com

Tern is a new brand, but its bikes can trace their lineage to Dahon's excellent commuters. The compact, speedy Verge range builds on those credentials with an improved folding mechanism and sleeker lines, while the Duo model adds a trick two-speed automatic gearbox.

To keep you clean on the way to work it comes with mudguards and a flexible chain cover – and there's even a pump built into the seatpost and a multitool hidden in one of the handlebar grips.
