Once kids have mastered striding, it’s time to attach the pedal setup, which like everything else Strider, is extremely clever. The pedal assembly arrives in a huffy bicycle box that advises parents not to open it until your child is ready to pedal. An included Allen wrench removes the single Allen bolt that secures the footrest.
Brompton bikes are much sought after due to their overall high quality, and because they pack down really small—so small you can commute to and from the airport and wedge one into the overhead compartment for a long-distance, car-free commute.

Beach cruiser bikes usually come with either coaster brakes or hand brakes. Coaster brakes are triggered by pedaling backward and generally offer a softer stop. Hand brakes are similar to the brakes on traditional bikes—they’re attached to the handlebars and can be squeezed to quickly stop the bike.

Most folding e-bikes are Class 1, meaning they top out at 20 mph and are acceptable on bike paths. If you encounter several flights of steps during the course of an average day, keep in mind that a battery and motor will add to the bike’s overall weight. Look at wheel size to help determine which folding bike is best for you. On the other hand, larger wheels allow the bike to tackle rougher terrain but won’t fold as compactly.
They aren’t built for speed or trails, but for overall comfort on the road. But make no mistake, we can still get where we want to go in good time—we just feel great getting there,” Chad Buchanan, founder of BiKASE, says.
