Kiwiboer Posted November 7, 2020 Share We are looking for two folding bikes that can fit into the back of a light aircraft. The bike shops have not been able to help so far. Anyone have any idea where we can look? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NC_lurker Posted November 7, 2020 Share We are looking for two folding bikes that can fit into the back of a light aircraft. The bike shops have not been able to help so far. Anyone have any idea where we can look?Are you looking for commuter type folding bikes like Bromptons? Or for full size break apart bikes? I seem to remember seeing a break apart bike in the classifieds recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to remember seeing a break apart bike in the classifieds recently.The commuter types would work well enough. Full size break apart bikes will be too big.

Kiwiboer Posted November 9, 2020 Share SportsmansWarehouse had last yearWe spoke to Sportsmans Warehouse, but they seemed to have no knowledge of them. I only spoke to the Tygervalley store, so maybe I should try some of the other stores. Staff turn over fairly regularly, so maybe I spoke to someone relatively new to the store.
