<p>One place is enough, so this folding bike rider is sticking with the Folders group which already has a list of members.</p>

<p>Used to have a Dahon Mu P8 that I liked a lot. Sold it to a buddy of mine and it started a new chapter with a new owner. Until it was stolen, that is. Death to bike thieves. </p>
<p></p>
<p>After I sold it I bought a Tern Link. It's ok but I liked the Dahon more. Apparently so did a lot of other people because the price went up about $200. I just don't feel as comfortable on longer rides on the Tern as I did on my Dahon (a longer ride being more than 10 miles). </p>

<p>Now I'm thinking of getting a BikeFriday. I'd like to get the Silk but I'll need to save for that one. I wonder if they have a lay-away plan? </p> Dahon "Mariner"

Dahon "Mariner"<br/>
<br/>
The noble workhorse for six weeks of my summer 2013:<br/>
<br/>
The "Eggbeater"<br/>
<br/>
Kind of gobsmacked by the Mariner. Her first real test. Hundreds of miles. Many sunrise and sunset west line shenanigans. Carried giant packs and boxes.<br/>
<br/>
I am on the train with her right now!... Yes!!!... air show bike ban... packed up all snug in a teenie duffle. under the radar...<br/>
<br/>
what a bike<br />
