A folding bicycle incorporates special design features enabling the bike to fold into a compact form, thereby facilitating transport or storage.

Folding bicycles are particularly suitable for urban commuters. Mixed-mode commuters who deploy the fold mechanism several times daily for portage aboard public transport, may prioritize a bike with an easy, quick fold. Marine users using a folding bike to facilitate incidental shore mobility, may prioritize the size of the folded bike. Riders using their bikes less frequently may prioritize speed and comfort over ease and speed of folding.
