Cycling Greece with the Helix Folding Bike: The Ultimate Travel Companion

At Helix, we design our titanium folding bike for one purpose: to give you freedom without compromise. That’s exactly what we experienced when we packed a Helix into its custom travel case and set out on a cycling adventure through southern Greece and the Ionian Islands.

Flying with a Folding Bike Made Easy

From the moment we arrived at the airport, the trip confirmed what we already knew: Helix makes traveling with a full-sized bike effortless. The custom travel case fit within standard airline baggage limits, so check-in was smooth and stress-free.

When we landed in Athens, it took just minutes to unfold Helix and start riding — no need for taxis or rental bikes.

Riding Through the Greek Islands

The ride itself was unforgettable. Winding coastal roads in the Peloponnese, ferries to Kefalonia and Zakynthos, quiet fishing villages, and sweeping sea views — Helix handled it all.

• Lightweight titanium construction made climbs easier.


• A wide gear range and responsive handling kept every ride comfortable and fun.


• The compact fold meant the bike was welcome on ferries, in hotels, and even tucked under desks.

Why Helix is the Best Folding Bike for Travel

Travel often means compromise, but with Helix there was none:

• Airline-friendly: Packs down to fit within standard baggage rules.


• Durable titanium frame: Built to withstand travel while staying lightweight.


• Portable & compact: Fits on boats, in small hotel rooms, and even under a desk.


• Ride quality of a full-sized bike: No need to sacrifice performance for portability.

By the end of the trip, Helix had proven itself as the ultimate travel companion. No waiting for buses, no searching for rentals — just the freedom to ride anywhere.

Take the Ride You Love Anywhere in the World

Whether it’s island hopping in Greece or weekend trips closer to home, Helix gives you the freedom to take your own bike wherever you go.

Freedom. Anywhere. Helix.
