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.Jessica

I was really jonesing for a Strida or CarryMe when I was facing a vacation in another state. However, now that I have come home (and spent all my disposable income), not so much.
I do need to put a little money into the bike...
I have a Dahon Boardwalk (7 speeds) which is beginning to show it's age...
the pedals don't match, I have used up two pair of folding pedals already. I replaced one of them with a standard pedal.
I put one of the pedals in wrong, and now either have to machine the pedal or replace the crank arm to get it changed.
I still am an Athena, so replacing the whole bike would mean getting a new special built rear wheel.
Maybe next year, after some of the weight goes away (just started WeightWatchers...)
