Since posting my Aerlite B folding bike review, I've received a number of inquiries about this 24 lb. welded magnesium bike. Without a doubt, the review, the bike's components (like the Shimano Nexus internal hub, alloy fenders, folding pedals, etc.) and the low sale price of $299 all had something to do with this.

As questions of bias can pop up in a review, I thought I'd post this testimonial I received from a customer in Ohio. He liked the folding bike so much that he took it over to show a friend. Now, both are Aerlite B owners. Here's the testimonial...

My Aerlite B arrived in a sturdy, heavy-duty cardboard box. The components were well cushioned and protected for shipping. I examined the frame, wheels, cables, brakes, etc. Everything was in perfect condition. I was impressed by the quality of the components. The welds on the magnesium frame were smooth and solid, and the locking mechanisms on the handlebars and frame were firm and worked easily.

The real thrill, however, was in the ride. The bike glided along effortslessly as I pedaled down the street. The magnesium frame is fantastic at absorbing shocks, and I found the seat and ride very comfortable. The gears worked smoothly and efficiently and were well spaced for a variety of speeds. I could hardly tell I was riding a folding bike.

After experiencing the ride I folded up the bike and easily lifted it into the trunk of my car then drove over to a friend's house. Upon arriving I took it out of the trunk, unfolded it, and in a few minutes my buddy was riding it. He immediately asked me to order one for him. We often ride together, and we're looking forward to having two folding bikes that we can take with us on trips. We like to expore different cities, and there is no better way to see a city than on a bike.

This is one great bike, and I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a quality, light-weight, compact folding bicycle.

The $299 sale on Aerlite B's only applies to the few 2006 models still in stock so you'll need to act soon to snag this deal.

Cheers :-)
