Evening Rides - Raleigh Twenty

A shot of the Raleigh Twenty from the other evening. We're into the longest days of the year, and we have daylight until about 8:45 p.m. With the help of a couple of LED lamps that charge via USB cable, I can ride well into the evening. I did just that with this Raleigh Twenty. It's cooler and more pleasant at dusk than earlier in the evening this time of year, and this ride was pretty good.

The Raleigh Twenty is a bit deceptive. Despite having small wheels and a folding frame, the bike is actually quite robust. It is only slightly slower than a full-sized wheel bike. It's a great choice for the person who wants a vintage folding bike that does not suffer much disadvantage compared to something like a Raleigh Sports. It may not fold up as compact as more modern folders, but it's rock solid and a joy to ride.
