5 of the best folding bikes

Brompton M3L

£760, brompton.co.uk
All Brompton bikes are made by hand in the UK, from scratch, which explains why it's one of the best bike makers around. The M3L model weighs just 10.7kg and packs in a three speed internal gear hub, as well as a leather Brooks saddle that breaks in beautifully. This micro machine folds up small enough to pop between your legs on the train and mix and match colours are available. Well-made, light, compact and rideable – a cracking commuter.
