Which bike for me ?
Just received my first comment ! Woooooo!
Mathew asked a pretty good question.
Basically "Which bike should I get?"
Well it depends.
If you just want a folding bike to use every now and then, say not more than a cruisy ride round the park once a week, then the cheaper Dahons would do the job.
The Dahon Boardwalk ($500), Impulse ($550) and Vitesse ($650) are simple 6 speed bikes with a relatively upright riding position. The components are cheap and cheerful, but will wear out pretty quick if you use it more frequently.
If you want to do long rides where there are big hills, or you want to carry stuff (touring gear, or lots of shopping) then a 24 gear option would be quite useful. The Birdy Blue at $2350, Dahon Speed Pro (on special for $1500) or Speed TR (on special for $1200), are nice to ride, adjustable for comfy positions and have the ability to carry stuff.
If you want something for regular shorter rides (say an hour or less?) , commuting , fitness riding, the midrange Dahon and base Birdys are the go.
The Dahon Speed 8 ($800) and Helios ($950) and the Birdys with suspension front and rear , Orange (now $1600!) and Silver($2200).
In general, the Birdys have better quality bits, and well they should, starting at $1600. The Birdys are nice to ride because the suspension allows for high pressure tyres (fast and easy riding) , and the suspension smooths out the bumps.
Both Dahon and Birdy fold in about 15 seconds after a bit of practice , to roughly the same size, although the Dahon package is a bit neater.
For more details , check out the links in the right column to Dahon and Birdy websites.
Or ask me some more questions!

Looks like you need to add some spam filters Adam!

Have you ever considered about including a little bit
more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is fundamental and all.
However just imagine if you added some great pictures or
video clips to give your posts more, "pop"!
Your content is excellent but with pics and videos, this
site could definitely be one of the greatest in its field.
Very good blog!
