Ni Hou!

I started this search in the Clyde/Athena's forum, didn't know there was a Folding forum, so sorry for the double post...

I am Praying that I will be able to return to school soon, and am seriously interested in pursuing a degree in the TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Language) field. My interest is in Mandarin (Taiwan). Enough now with the background.

Problem is, although I'm losing weight, I'm worried about breaking the bike (just broke my GT Transeo 1.0 last month). I'm gathering information on moving out of the country and it appears that Taipei has some tiny apartments. So, in the interest of a lack of room for 3 full sized bikes, I'm now looking at a folding bike. My research also shows that there isn't any bike racks on buses, so I'm not looking into a full sized bike with couplers.

Bike Friday's seem to peak out at 260lbs (I'm much closer to 290lbs right now), can't find anything on Dahon's website, and I figured that someone here may have some answers...

So, I'd appreciate any help.

Xie xie (thanks!)
