MKS FD - 6 Folding Pedals

Advantages: cheap to run, healthy way to get about, environmentally healthy
Disadvantages: heavy even with battery removed, not suitable for long distances

...'s not suitable for long trips unless the battery is removed. They say that you get around 12.2 mph and I would reckon that's about right, unless you pedal. The throttle is on the right handle bar, and this can be a bit awkward when turning right, as you tend to engage the throttle without meaning to, however I am sure that we will get used to this with time. The bike folds fairly easily once you get used to it and can fit in the boot of a Ford Fiesta. It comes with a lockable box on the back, at no extra expense (although they refuse to accept any responsiblilty for damage in transit - fair enough) and it also has front and rear lights and a horn. It comes in 4 colours - we've got silver which is quite nice and cedirect.co.uk deliver for free which is great Generally speaking if you want a bike for city riding to and fro work... Read review

...My guess is that 75% of the world's cyclists have never really paid much attention to their pedals. So long as they spin round, push the crankset in the right direction, and give you somewhere to rest your feet, they are of little interest. Remember your first bike? Maybe you do, but you could probably not tell me what the pedals were made of, what weight they were, how much they cost, what cleat system they used, or how easy they were to service.!! However, as bikes have become more complicated, and folk have more money to spend on personalizing them, the pedals have attracted more attention. Here is a good example - the Shimano A530 SPD's. 1 The Manufacturer. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Shimano are one of life's fascinating mixtures. I had been aware of the firm's fishing products for quite a long time. They have pioneered new... Read review
