THE type of ‘folding’ you might be interested in would fit in your pocket, right? But how about this instead? It’s a folding bike and is great for commuting.

For the stressed out commuter a collapsible bike can come in very handy as you can simply pop one in the boot, drive to the outskirts of the choked-up city and ride the last few miles bypassing the jams.

This Apollo Transition features powerful V-brakes, Shimano six-speed gears, 20-inch alloy rims and a luggage rack for your briefcase and unlike some similar folding bike rivals it’s comfortable to ride.

The folding mechanism is a breeze to use too and it can be collapsed in under a minute.

Price: £269.99 Contact: www.halfords.com, 08457 626625
