STEP 1 My bike is a Brompton, in its fully folded form it forms a compact package, other makes will fold in different ways affecting their overall size.

STEP 2 With the saddle up, handle bars up and front wheel out its looking a bit like an exercise bike but making it easy to park.

STEP 3 Flicking out the rear wheel turns it into a fully functioning bike, practice makes perfect with old hands completing the folding / unfolding in 15 seconds.
