Hi all, I should start by saying I'm only a very "casual" rider. I've had a Raleigh C40 for about 4 years now, and it's an OK bike for my riding style...which is very unhurried and slow. Here in Austin we have lots of "hard core" cycling enthusiasts, and I'm sure these guys on their expensive Italian bikes find me a bit amusing as they blow past me, lol. I don't ride when it's too hot, or too cold, and there is no way I could be called a serious cyclist...it's all about just enjoying a slow, pleasant ride on a nice day, for me.
I find myself posting here because an ebay seller is offering a folder I was interested in. I see you have a separate forum just for folders, so I won't go into the details here, at this time. I was actually looking at some r/c vehicles (my major addiction), but this seller also had the folding bike, which looked too good to be true...
Anyway, like most of us, I've had one or another bike most of my life. I still have many fond memories of my trusty old Schwinn, which expanded my 10-year-old universe much farther than my feet alone would have taken me. I seem to be rambling now, but I'll try to keep future posts short and concise.
