The 50 Best Bicycles

* #19 - Montague Swissbike LX

If laughably titchy wheels and nerdy styling put you off folders, take a look at this rugged offering from Montague. Long revered in the US, the award-winning bikes have been deployed in Iraq, where their sturdy build and portability make them a marine's best friend. Landing on our shores later this month, the LX is a fully fledged mountain bike that happens to fold in half.
