I live on the Beach at Ventura Ca and ride 20 miles a day, have only seen 2 other folders, Dahon Helois. Just returned from an 8 week trip on in our motorhome, saw 4 dahons in Salt Lake City, none in Portland (although bought my wife a new Speed 8 in a great LBS there), none in SF. Don't get a lot of comments on my Speed TR but what I do get are mostly from young (teenagers) and they all have been postive, generally "cool bike".
