Comments on: Commuting with Dahon, a Review http://karavshin.org/2007/07/04/commuting-with-dahon-a-review/ Of each particular thing, ask: What is it, in itself, what is its nature?

I have two main rides: an Electra Amsterdam (sport) for commuting around the city. It's fabulous for somebody who refuses to tape their pants, or take off their heels. The other is a custom Marinoni road bike (I am tiny and most standard sized bikes don't fit me) for going super fast. When suggesting that I wanted to buy a fold-up bike most my friends (also bike enthusiasts) chided me about how impractical it might be. I'm thinking about a curve D3, very basic, but something I can take with me when I travel or keep in my trunk for road trips. Your review has helped convince me that I'm not crazy, and that a folding bike can find a good home amongst my other rides. Thanks so much for a detailed review.

I just bought one on impulse also. I own two Xootr scooters (ex3 and street), rollerblades, Landrollers and an A-Bike. NONE suit my needs for getting around NYC quickly. I prefer motorized transportation, but it's illegal, so while I can get away with a Segway maybe, which is my dream machine, I'd risk getting ticketed. Rollerblades are fine for those who are great at going over unexpected rough surfaces w/out falling on their faces. Not me. And the A-Bike is a joke. I couldn't travel more than 5 feet without being exhausted, and no one could adjust the chain to loosen it -- not even bike specialists! So while at the bike store, the Dahon caught my eye and I went for it. I was gong to slap down a grand on a video camera I don't need, so I opted for something more practical and useful for fitness.
