“The Birdy is an ingenious synthesis of touring bike and compact folder, blurring the boundaries of what you can do with a portable bike. It offers a conventional riding position with a stiff frame, while the elastomer suspension provides an exceptional smooth ride. Much of the responsiveness is due to the way the front and rear wheel suspension swing-arms form part of the folding mechanism, eliminating the need for hinges in the main frame.”

“Riding the Birdy around town is fun. It's a responsive bike with predictable handling. All in all a good package for anyone who needs a bike that ' s fun to ride and easy to carry on buses and trains, pop into a car boot, store on a yacht or a light aircraft. ”

“The ride is what sold me on the Birdy. The frame is stiff…It accelerates well…It feels secure…It's good at high speed...And the brakes are excellent…The suspension, too, works well. It is truly ‘anti-dive' at the front, which I like a lot…At high speed, the suspension is great – it soaks up bumps and waves in the road, and feels really secure.”

Cycling Today 2000
Amongst other folding bikes the Birdy is stiffer than average. Being such a light bike means that carrying the folded and bagged Birdy is fairly painless. You only need look at the times we took to fold the bikes to find that the Birdy is in a different galaxy to the other bikes in terms of portability. It goes from a fully functioning bicycle to a package the size of a two pence piece in under thirty seconds, which is pretty remarkable. The ride is superior to many folding bikes.

Business Week 2006
SMOOTHEST RIDE The Birdy. Its suspension smoothes out bumps, and when folded it's only a bit bigger than the Brompton. It weighs 25 lbs., and the bike is strong and stable.
