Why is his bike squeaking so much?

Apologies, but it's a folding bike, and i've gotten used to the noise.
It doesn't make noise on flat surfaces...But this road is obviously not
a flat surface.


If there are squeaks from his folding bike then presumably there's joint
movement in frame which means the frame is effectively flexing. That
can't help much when riding a pot-holed road.

Maybe he should ride a more suitable bike if he's worried about bumps in the
roads. I didn't notice many true pot-holes although there were patches of
indifferent surface re-instatement work.

Maybe he was just having a video moan. You know how cyclists are fond of
this.
