Bikeforums.net is a forum about nothing but bikes. Our community can help you find information about hard-to-find and localized information like bicycle tours, specialties like where in your area to have your recumbent bike serviced, or what are the best bicycle tires and seats for the activities you use your bike for.matt52

The wiki on folding bikes at foldingbikes.wikispaces.com (http://foldingbikes.wikispaces.com) is slowly growing. I'm particularly grateful to Fear and Trembling and Keith for their input so far. I'm also slowly sticking in short content as a basis for people to start amending/improving. But please do if you have time get in there and add/improve.
Only one problem so far - an idiot with IP 70.230.185.147 - has chosen to use the wiki to post abusive comments about Yan L and Downtube bikes on both the Dahon and the Downtube pages. I'm going to revert the pages to their original text, but really don't want to have to spend time sorting out this sort of thing.
If the wiki is to work (like any wiki), it will be because people approach it in a positive and constructive way and - where they disagree with content either amend it or engage in the associated discussion forum. I'm keeping the wiki public for now, because that seems to be the easiest way to allow the widest possible range of people to contribute content. But that does rely on people not engaging in childish bike v bike wars. Indeed this forum is a fantastic example of how this sort of approach can work - bike trolls are few and far between.
