As City bikes go, the Brompton reigns supreme in the cutesy-practical department, but for those of us that secretly still harbour BMX dreams from our childhood, the mini-velo is actually where it's at. They don't fold, so don't offer much in terms of space saving in your flat, but once you get them to the car, or need to carry it upstairs they really do come into their own. Anything they might lack in extra practicality compared to their folding compatriots, they more than make up for in smiles per miles.
BMX size tyres makes for some awesome tyre choices, and some really fun handling, and most modern incarnations add racks, and hub gears for a simple, fun, fast and practical way to rock around our towns and cities, in style.
