The Melon Slice - Folding Bike Review

Melon BicyclesMelon Bicycles is a bike company that started with the goal to produce a folding bike that would ride well enough to be an alternative to conventional comfort, fitness, hybrid, and commuter bicycles.

It reminds one of a bmx bike with its quick starting ability and incredible maneuverability, yet offers a comfortable upright riding position. In many ways, a 20" wheel bike is more suited to urban/commuting/bike fitness trail riding and Melon would like to eventually be known as "The 20" Wheel Bike Company".
