Citizen Bike is a manufacturer of folding bicycles, based on a philosophy of affordability. [1] Its line of low-cost bicycles are shipped directly to customers and do not require any assembly. [2] These bicycles fold to a size comparable to other brands but are generally heavier. [3] [4]
The compact size of Citizen folding bikes makes them well suited for urban commuting, [5] and they are airplane friendly when packed in an optional carrying bag. [6] An early limited edition model called MTA MetroBike, outfitted with reflective Metropolitan Transportation Authority route symbols, [7] was showcased by the MTA as a train and bus-friendly bicycle. [5] [8] [9]
The company offers a namesake mobile app to help map rides and count calories. [10]
