When a person doesn't have access to ANY folding bikes, especially at this time in our history, suggesting they go out any try them is a bit ridiculous. You may have test ridden all the bikes you own, but EVERY FOLDING BIKE I OWN I BOUGHT WITHOUT TEST RIDING. I had 2 bikes total that I regretted buying, and that's because of a my dislike of a the way it folds (I still own the bike nonetheless), and my desire to buy a better bike than initially purchased (I cheaped out on my first ever folding bike). The bikes the OP listed here are all from reputable brands, and have a proven track record of customer satisfaction. And currently there's no way to test folders,...unless he/she knows of a bike shop that will hook he/she up. Otherwise, suggesting every time to "go test ride it" is currently, utterly illogical.
Do you comprehend granpapa,...roger???
