Today we went to Fairfield Bikes to look at folding cycles. We figure we'll want some when we're retired voyageurs.
They had a Dahon model, and a couple of Bromptons. Both are wonderfully designed, and fine craftmanship. However, I'm just not a Brompton man. It felt like a toy, was too small, and had nasty gear ratios. I could, however, be very happy with the Dahon. It fit me and felt like a real bike.
The store guy was super. Spent a lot of time with us even though we made it clear that no purchase was happening right now.
Pity the folders don't have motors.
I am a 68 year old retired teacher living on the west coast of Canada. I spent over 30 years as a student of Karate until my knees stopped liking it. My current passionate activity is Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, which I've been at for about 13 years.
