Default Mini fold-up bicycles

You know the ones you see around Osh Kosh and Sun'n'fun.


I have a 6 speed 20" folder by Dahon (actually 2, one for my wife, too).
When I got it I think we spent $230/ea. They have a different set of
models now, it looks comparable to their Speed D7 (although mine is a
few lbs lighter than that model).

They have a whole range of weights and features (also models with smaller
wheels). My main advice would be to not skimp on the speeds -- the 6
gears I have aren't quite broad enough -- they even specifically mention
improving that in the Speed D7.
