Well went off and ordered a folding bike today...Got tired of not having any way getting around and figured a little exercise couldn't hurt.

This burly beast of a bike is called Jack. Jack isn’t designed for all-out speed - that’s for racer boys in spandex - it’s designed to go at any pace you choose and to roll over anything in its path. Dahon designed Jack around a beefy 7005 aluminum frame and phat Schwalbe Big Apple tires. The custom SRAM drivetrain has only seven speeds to keep things simple, but enough gears for most anything you’re likely to encounter in the city.

We had a couple of Dahon's when they first came out some time ago. They were compact and easy to unfold...but we found that we did not use them much so we sold them at a garage sale.
