Why did you all decide that a folder was for you?

Sheldon Browns' inspiring page on the Raleigh Twenty coupled with some previous experience with a low end folder.

What choice/choices did you make and why'd you buy what you bought?

Durability, speed, affordability, long term thinking. Had to have a ride quality as good as my regular bike. It has exceeded that hope.

What do you use it for?

Commuting, modding, touring a tiny bit (intend to do more), simply relaxing while i ride without a destination.

Why'd you choose the wheelsize you chose?

It made the most sense -> most common size results in cheapest deals on wheels and largest selection of tires, 20 inch size is adequate for everything i want in a bike. I don't see any benefits in other sizes at present.

Do you wish you'd bought a more expensive one, or a less expensive one?

No it is perfect. One day if i get into more touring i may add derallieurs or perhaps get a Dahon Speed P8 as an extra bike for this purpose.
If ever i wanted something for intense commuting i might consider a Brompton or GoBike but for now the Twenty is all i need.

Do you let anyone else ride your folding bike/bikes? Would you?

I do, they digg it and are usually amazed at the ride quality.

Do you have a 'regular' size bike too?

I had 2 when i first acquired the twenty. Since then they just gathered dust and i have just sold them both recently. It may sound weird but i almost felt like i had been cheated with my regular bikes, all this myths i had in the back of my head about larger wheels and folders were suddenly uncovered when i rode the Twenty and realized some thing.

Are you happy with the utility of your new toy, car replacement, cruiser, or whatever you call it?

Very much.

Did you find the thing life changing?

Yes, sortoff. Life changing is a big word. But definately eye opening, life enhancing/re-affirming and heaps of fun.
