I received my Tokyo about a month ago and I love it. It's quality at its best and easily transported in my two seater sports car when folded up. I received several accessories that I ordered and they arrived in three days after I ordered them online. One of the accessories is an indoor exerciser that I'll use during the snowy Michigan months. I also want to thank Pablo for being so helpful with a question I on had installing one of my bike bags. Everything is well made and it's so nice to be able to talk to a real person. Excellent company!

Bought a Miami model took it to Europe while I studied abroad. Awesome to use around campus and the city center in Salamanca, Spain.

This bike is freaking incredible. I drive a small car and wanted something I can bike in different cities with and this is perfect. The engineering is genius. It's easy to assemble even right out of the box. I am super excited!!! Like a kid on Christmas.

I love my orange Miami!!! It's fun, cute, and the perfect size.

Jean M. Facebook review

I have a Miami Citizen bike. people keep stopping me asking me about it. It's a really amazing bike. I bought one to invest in myself to help with my fitness goals. This is one of the best investments I've made for myself.

I just received a Gotham 7 in pearl. It looks way better in person than online. I am very impressed by the quality and the packaging. Not one mark on my bike :). I have the upgraded white and grey seat and it matches beautifully with the white frame. I was worried the 20 inch tires would look funny being small with a high seat and handlebar but it doesn't at all. The tires look like a good size in person. I'm 5'4 140 pounds. If you're thinking twice about getting this bike don't. It's so worth it. I live in Brooklyn, NY so this is a game changer for me lol.

I purchased my bike from Citizen about 1 year ago and I love it! Great people and very helpful. Their products are extremely well built and I love being able to travel with my bike, not needing a rack! Great customer service!

Ed M. Facebook review

Received my new Bike yesterday. Gotham 24/7 came fully assembled, only had to unbox, and unfold. Works great.

Eleana R. Facebook review

If there was a better way to describe how much I LOVE my bike I'd use it LOL. I got my bike in May 2016 as a birthday gift from my fiance. It has been my best friend ever since. I ride practically everywhere with it and I am always being stopped in stores and on the street when I am riding it. I easily ride at least 6-10 miles a day on it and I love it. I plan on having more adventures with my bike, which is now my best friend LOL.

Just received my Miami. I love it so much that I just ordered 2 more! One for my husband and one for my son! Thank you!

Have the miami and Tokyo and love them. Great build quality

Crickett H. Facebook review

I just finished nearly six miles on another awesome ride on my Citizen Tokyo. I have another bike, but it's hanging in the garage and hard to get down and doesn't fit in my car. The Tokyo lives in the closet when not in use. It fits behind the backseat of my Mini Cooper. It gets huge comments. I saw a man at a CicLAvia event with two little girls riding Citizen Tokyos. He said the bikes will grow with the girls. How special is that?

Kristen P. Facebook review

We bought my college student one for Christmas. He loves it! It was even better than expected, and he enjoyed the thoughtful pair of socks that came with the bike. We are hooked!

Prepared with love

Because we only offer our bikes direct, we're able to pass along all of the savings to you. But we're also able to do things differently. Unlike what you should expect from purchasing a bike online, we're quite the opposite. We're not slapping a label on a box and tossing it into a truck. Your bike is prepared to order, customized and packed for shipment, right here in the USA at Citizen HQ. We'll add and attach your accessories, tune it all up, and carefully pack your bike for safe travels to you.

Your bike is tuned and setup with the same level of care and attention you'd get from your local bike shop. Because we can pack the bikes folded and fully assembled, your bike will arrive to you ready to ride...and prepared with love.

practical uses of a folding bike

Commuting

Take a folding Citizen Bike on the train or subway and make those last blocks to work on your bike. Or you can store your folding bike in your car for days when you park a little farther from work and bike the rest of the way there. Avoid traffic, and keep fit at the same time.

Road trips

Imagine the ease of taking your bicycle with you without the hassle of a bike rack. Whether it's a business trip, a camping trip or just a weekend drive in the country, store your folding bike in your trunk and have the freedom to go for a ride whenever you want.

Small spaces

Whether you live in an apartment, dorm, or are just tight on extra space, a Citizen Bike offers you a great ride with the added convenience of portable, easy storage. A Citizen folding bike can be folded neatly into a storage bag, out of the way and in a closet.

Boating

Boaters love having a Citizen Bike on board. Pull into port, pull out your folding bikes and have a full featured bicycle to take you wherever you want to go. Explore or run errands, Citizen Bike has a model that will fit needs and your boat.

Flying

Private pilots and travelers enjoy the convenience and portability of a Citizen Bike. Stowed conveniently in the hold of even the smallest aircraft, a folding bike still leaves room for other gear. So, wherever you may land, Citizen Bike has you covered for your global adventures.

RV travel

Whether you’re cruising the canyons, meandering the plains, or just away for the weekend, a Citizen Bike offers you the flexibility to take your bikes with you. A Citizen folder is an ideal road companion, packed into a storage bag and tucked out of the way.
