I am making plans to visit a friend in Boston in the next couple of months and was wondering if there is a folding bike store in the area?

Belmont Wheelworks in Belmont, Massachusetts is a Dahon Dealer.

http://www.wheelworks.com/

They had some Dahon bikes in stock, and were helpful about getting models in that I wanted to try when I went in there. They are generally a good all-around bike shop. They won an award from Adventure Cycling this year.

You can check the Dahon website for other dealers. A friend of mine purchased a Dahon Espresso at Community Bicycle Supply on Tremont Street in Boston. Backbay Bicycles also stocked a few Dahons when I visited last year.

I don't know of anyone stocking Bike Fridays or Bromptons or Swifts, though. Montague is headquartered in Massachusetts if memory serves me correctly.

ACE Wheelworks (same co. as the one in Belmont) in Porter Sq, Cambridge has the odd mainstream-brand folder. Think I saw a Trek there.
