Bike shops up and down the country are sold out of any shape and size of bicycle as Ireland\u2019s public sought mental and physical relief from lockdown, on two wheels.<\/p>\n<p>\u0160koda offers a range of bicycles for immediate delivery and one, in particular, will be of interest to those who intend to make cycling at least part of their commute in the future.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/14\/2020\/06\/WEB-2020-Skoda-StretchGo-by-PMcG-24.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-1695\" src=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/14\/2020\/06\/WEB-2020-Skoda-StretchGo-by-PMcG-24.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"464\" height=\"309\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The STRETCHGO folding bike weighs just 12.5 kg and is the perfect companion for commuters. The black city bike with 7-speed Shimano drivetrain can be easily folded up for storing in a car boot or the office, offers taller cyclists a comfortable ride once unfolded and also provides a clear view of city traffic thanks to its high seat position. It couldn\u2019t be easier to fold and unfold, taking just a few seconds and the bike\u2019s aluminium frame and forks make it super strong too.<\/p>\n<p>The STRETCHGO is available in \u0160koda retailers now, and even if retailers don\u2019t have them in stock, they take just two weeks to be delivered. Priced at just \u20ac675, this bike offers the perfect \u2018last mile\u2019 solution, whereby commuters might choose to drive the majority of their commute and cycle the last section, saving time and parking costs and offers a great altenative to public transport which may well remain restricted for some time to come.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u0160koda\u2019s history began with bicycles <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The history of the company is closely associated with bicycles. 125 years ago, company founders V\u00e1clav Laurin and V\u00e1clav Klement started with the production of bicycles before moving to motorised vehicles. In addition, for the last 14 years, S\u030cKODA has been an official partner of the Tour de France.<\/p>\n<p>The bicycle, original accessories and other branded products are available at S\u030cKODA dealerships.
