Thanks for the replies. I am still mulling over which folding bike to get. Choosing between a Dahon Eco 3 or a Boardwalk D7. Both are used and priced the same. Since I moved to another office I've had to take the bus and a 15-minute walk after. If you asked me last year what I thought of folders, I would've said, "I don't get them." However I've realized that these bikes are versatile. At least that's my opinion after test riding a Dahon Eco 7. I guess my next concern is the bkie's weight and getting on and off the platforms. Another is the change of clothes I need. I did some multi-modal commuting last year but I'd ride my bike to my sister's place and leave it there then I'd take the bus. This year it's a different route. I have to take the bus to work but would have to walk to the bus stop. I'd rather bike than walk.
