I think the general public once they get wind of lawsuits and family haggling, will be skittish horses and bolt-avoiding the issue for now. I look at simply moving beyond the need for one or the other. While I do look at both Dahon & Tern bicycles as an interesting topic for discussion purposes, I already moved way beyond the need for either. The lady has made her mind up. I already solved the problem of folding bikes usage in my own life. And the 2 winners are.....neither. Only the ones that really and actually work well over an long period of time, offered actual easy-to-locate replaceable proprietary parts offline, and came up to my tests, demands, and expectations survived last year's Fall, 2010 culling.

My former Dahons disappeared out of my life then just like the old dahon.com website will do very soon for everyone else.
