Hummingbird
Regular price £575.00 GBPNew for 2020-21, this is a re-working of our much loved Hummingbird bike. It has a slim 'mixte' frame made from lightweight chromoly steel, super curly 'moustache' handlebars, a sprung saddle and matching mudguards. It is a quirky, authentically retro bike. The riding style is coquettish: leaning forward a little with straight arms. It's a speedy and agile machine, and is a thing of great beauty.
This frame shape is evocative of 1960's France so you may consider wearing a stripy T-shirt and cocking your hat at a jaunty angle!

Notes on compatibility: The set-up of the Hummingbird is different to our other bikes. The handlebar stem sticks forward and the head tube is short. If you want to attach a front basket, we recommend the Urban Front Basket. Other baskets may be too deep and may droop forwards. If you choose the rear Lightweight Urban Carrier make sure you add these bolts If you have any questions about compatibility of accessories, contact us before ordering :)
Colours: all colours are gloss finish except "Chrome Paint" which is a complex iridescent paint that ranges from dark grey, silvery and purple-hued, depending on the light and angle.

Assembling your bike is empowering. It’s a great way to understand how it works! Please click here to view our step by step guide to assembly. View our assembly video here.
- The bike arrives in a box. The handlebars, front wheel, front mudguard, pedals and saddle must be attached.
- You will need a multi-tool or hex key set, 10mm spanner, 15mm wrench, scissors, pliers, a screwdriver and a pump.
Some things to note:
- If you assemble your own bike, it’s very important that you do it correctly. If you have doubts, pay your local bike mechanic to check over your handiwork or assemble it for you.
- In the first few weeks of use, you can expect your bike to ‘bed-in’. You must check everything is tight before each ride. Cables will stretch so your gears and brakes will need adjustment.
Finding the correct size bike starts with measuring the legs. Take a measuring tape, place it on the floor inside the leg and measure upwards. Now check the chart below.

Fold
Regular price £540.00 GBPThis is our simple option for adult commuters, available in a rainbow of Bobbin colours*. The Fold arrives in a ready-to-ride package, with minimal assembly required. All you need to do is pump the tyres, check everything is tight and at the correct height, then off you go!
The Fold is designed to store in tight spaces but also to ride nicely. It has all the usual Bobbin features (duracork grips, sprung brown saddle, cream tyres, nice paint colour) with added functionality. The bars flop down and the pedals flip up, making it the perfect hallway bike. You can even fold it in two and pop it in your wardrobe or car boot! Just like origami. Unlike most folders, it comes fitted with mudguards, kickstand and a rear carrier for extra usefulness. It's also a great sharing bike, with a long quick-release seat post that will fit most heights.
So, if you’ve always harked after a classic Bobbin but don’t have the space, or simply want a folder with added va-va-voom, step this way.
Folded dimensions: approx 85cm long x 68cm high x 35cm wide
