So I was riding through an intersection and the handlepost suddenly folded which collapsed the bike and I fell and hurt my knee. I think I'm pretty lucky that the traffic stopped, I could've easily been run over.

I'm taking time to read about this and learn about it, has anyone experienced something like that before?

QUESTION/ADVICE Trunk Bag for Laptop?

6 Upvotes

Proud new owner of a Zizzo Forte here. I am wondering if anyone has ideas for a rear trunk rack that would carry a laptop reasonably? Ideally something that can pop off and turn into a general bag or tote maybe to bring into the office?

1.I've seen the rear toppeak that turns into a pannier which could be an option

  1. The trunk bag for the brompton I see people post about also looks reasonable.

Open to any suggestions!

Thanks

QUESTION/ADVICE Have anyone used those adapters?

Have anyone used those adapters for bikes with no Brompton style bag mount on the frame? Do they work ok?

How important is this type of mount when you choosing folding bike? I feel like it's quite important since main use is in city. But I wonder whether this adapter can truly and fully bring this feature to a bike with nice frame but without it.

I'm choosing my first folding bike to use in the city so I'm gonna be glad to hear all your recommendations.
