Folding Bikes On UK Trains & Subways

Why Folding Bikes Are So Popular In The UK

Last week, a story titled "Why get stuck when you can fold" appeared in Life and Health section of The Guardian (a London newspaper). Essentially, the story explained that more commuters and travelers in the UK are looking at alternatives to traveling by car. Since folding bikes are more portable and are allowed in many situations where full size bikes are denied, their popularity is exploding.

If you're thinking about traveling to the UK with a bike that folds, you'll probably want to read the story as it details the bicycle policies of transit operators serving the London region (such as railways like Eurostar, bus lines like National Express, the Underground, ferries such as P&O and even airlines like British Airways).
