Bike Pop Art
Here at Montague, we know that our bikes can be something of a conversation starter. While they have the same ride quality as non-folding bikes, the double top-tube on the pavement bikes and the thicker mono tube on the mountain bikes do draw some attention, inquisitive looks, and questions. People want to know why the [...]

The 12 Days of Cycling
It’s that time of year. Rather than providing an assortment of products that you might purchase for yourself or a loved one (although we always do recommend a folding bike and accessories…heck, we’ve even got t-shirts!), please enjoy this parody on everybody’s favourite Christmas song, “The 12 Days of Christmas” – or as you’ll come [...]

Winter Bicycle Storage
One of the great things about Montague folding bikes is that they can handle all kinds of conditions – even winter weather. Although it’s been a pretty mild winter in New England so far this year, parts of the Midwest have already received their first ice and snow. If you live in an area that [...]

Great Britain and Great Transportation
Just last week, we told you about the 2 Mile Challenge. CLIF Bar is trying to encourage people to ride more, especially for shorter trips, by providing a way for participants to track their mileage, and then converting the mileage to the amount of pollutants that were not released in to the environment because of [...]

Ride More, Drive Less: The 2 Mile Challenge
Last week, we looked at a report from The Wall Street Journal that suggested a link between exposure to fuel emissions and neurological disorders. While driving is sometimes necessary, we know it’s not great for our health: as part of a sedentary lifestyle, it can contribute to type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and now, even [...]
Bike Lock vs. Tree
In many cities, there are local ordinances that prohibit using trees as bike racks. Several years ago, I was running some errands, and as there weren’t any official bike racks on the block, I locked to a small tree, and ran into a store for maybe 10 minutes. By the time I returned, I found [...]
Ease Traffic Congestion, Ease Your Mind: Ride a Bike
I recently read an article in The Wall Street Journal titled “The Hidden Toll of Traffic Jams”, which examined the effects of prolonged exposure to vehicle emissions on the brain. While it’s too early to draw any direct connections between car exhaust neurological disorders, scientists’ findings revealed preliminary links to an array of neurological conditions, [...]

A Trip to the Polling Station with my Folding Bike
Today is voting day (municipal elections), and dutiful citizen that I am, I left for work 15 minutes early so that I could hit my polling station on the way in and still arrive on time. Since I ride my bike to work, I also rode to the polling station. But after I got there, [...]

On the Road Again – with Montague Folding Bikes
Last month, we did a post about people who take our folding bikes on the road with them – literally. We’re not talking about commuters who do a park-and-pedal style commute, but about people whose jobs keep them moving from one city to another – truckers, musicians, actors, and yes…roadies. A few of the roadies [...]
