I only got my IGH bike, initially, because that's the predominant style here in Sweden, where cycling is commonplace, and I was looking for something functional and cheap that wouldn't be a theft target once my other stuff got here from the west coast of the USA.
I had no idea I'd like it so much. Now I'm considering as my next build an IGH folder built for touring. This stems from the fact that I get so much vacation, there are such good cycling paths in Europe, and it would greatly simplify the act of traveling with a bicycle.
I'm quite new at some of the parts of cycling that I think are charming. For instance, it was only during the last year that I got my first dynamo-hub. Now, 2 of 3 of my bikes have them. It's fun to grow and learn like that!
