Le Petit Rigolo (Funny Little One)
Needed a folding bike to get somewhere without spending much on fees for my bike (in bigger trains) at this time i didn't have that funny foldie bicycle you may find in my other bicycle list, bought it 30 Euros at Les Mains Ouvertes a charity shop.
The bike was in a really great condition, the folding mechanism worked like a charm, the wheels were almost new. Some parts were a little rusty but nothing deep.
