therock Supersonic December 22, 2020 Author Share December 22, 2020 Hey bros Thanks again for the suggestions and tips Honestly I'm a bit torn.. I have a couple of other hobbies that are going to take up even more $$, and I'm hoping that the money I saved on travels this year will go towards paying for some upgrades, haha. But I do want a bike, so both wife and I can cycle together. I looked at the $390 Decathlon Riverside 500 again and there are quite some negative reviews.. the road bike will be hard for my wife, and she isn't fond of the small wheels, although the 20" foldies don't look so puny. So I'll check out a few more of them, and continue riding my Raleigh first and please keep the suggestions coming. My main workout isn't bikes, so my cycling shorts have yet to be commissioned a year after I bought them.. Swimming and walks constitute the bulk of my workout. The West Coast does beckon so I hope to organise something, maybe others can come too? ↡ Advertisement 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soya Supersonic December 22, 2020 Share December 22, 2020 Why not just get a couple of Dahon foldies at $600-700 each? Good enuf quality and a decent ride. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorty Turbocharged December 22, 2020 Share December 22, 2020 I would get one hybrid for myself n a foldie for the wife. Foldie also allows u to ride it as n whn u want, comparing to a small normal bike which only ur wife can ride. N also, suggest u get a gd condition 2nd hand bike. This way if u change ur mind u wouldn't lose a lot if u decide to sell it. Carousell has plenty. Some r even upgraded n selling cheaper than lower spec new bikes. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Sometime, ppl think folding bike are for kids. For petite lady, I recommend hybrid bike with 650c wheel like this https://www.decathlon.sg/p/8523199-115418-triban-100-junior-road-bike.html?c=6105#/4313-200-one_size_fits_all Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me is becos of the frame. It is easier for ladies to get on a foldie compared to normal bike. Unless u get a mountain or hybrid bike which is ladies specific design.
