Bikes

Singlespeeds and 29in wheels are the new Hoxton fin crazes of biking – so why not combine the two with this singlespeed 29er?

Commencal bikes are ridden mountain bike legends Cedric Garcia and the Atherton family – and now lesser mortals can get a taste of their brilliant ride

When it comes to folding bikes, there are two brands that stand out – Brompton and Dahon. So how come we’re recommending a Mezzo, then?

The Bike in a Bag Compact suffers heavily from pinched pennies: plasticky components, heavy frame and wobbly steering do not a good ride make

The Brompton S2L-X will take you 20 seconds to put together and is a politely compact companion on the train

The Specialised S-Works Tarmac costs a mint, but then its carbon monocoque frame does weigh less than 1kg and the whole bike a mere 7.6kg…

The Airframe is designed by an architect and will be a devil to clean thanks to the fancy looks. But it rides well

The Mezzo D9 was designed by ex-F1 designer Jon Whyte and is replete with great design touches to make the folder a swift and stable commuters friend
