I just had my hybrid bike stolen from outside my workplace :( I have made up my mind to never keep my bike locked outside again.
Can anyone suggest where I can get a good second hand folding bike? My budget is not more than £200.

Thanks in advance!

    scour Ebay / gumtree, but you'll need more than £200 to get a decent 2nd hand brompton, which is the daddy of folding bikes. if youre not regularly taking it on a train then have a look at the dahons, more your budget, fold isn't anything like as neat, but they are decent for the money and the bigger wheeled ones ride more like you'll be used to.

    Decathlon is a good shout: dunno on the folders but they generally get a good write up for their price points.

    I have adopted a btwin sport 1 which is surprisingly decent & son has a MTB which is the envy of the street.

    OP

    Halfords & Edinburgh Bikes have folders too which will be moderately priced.

    sounds like you're after it for its storage size so Brommy is by far your best bet but a decent one for £200 - big ask
