Looking south and north along the Hudson River from some new-to-me vista points, thanks to the new Dahon folding bike I bought last week. This is really a pretty amazing piece of engineering - below are some snapshots in the building's hallway, with the trombone gig bag in the photo to give an idea of scale, and inside the apartment. It takes perhaps 15 seconds to fold up. The ride is fine , although the wheels are only 16" - which means that going downhill means coasting, no pedaling necessary (or possible).

M-
That is one cool bike! Mine is a full size Marin "Highway One" It's primarily a road bike with straight "mountian bike" looking handle bars....made out of carbon fiber which I'm still uncomfortable trusting its strength due to being a guy my size.
I really feel that having and using a bicycle for transportation is NOT a great extravagance in the current times we live in but rather a much needed life item.
Excellent choice and I'll have to pass that bicycle's brand name on to a friend who uses a folding bike, only he says that his is a really cheapo one and he's not happy with it and figures he should get a better quality one.
