Well, I saw a Birdy, one other Dahon, a few BF's and a couple of Bromptons. I was also a bit surprised by how few folders were out there, since they're much more common on the West Side Greenway than at the 5 Boro.
Since I spent most of my time passing all those people riding on those funny-looking bikes with the big wheels, I can't imagine why anyone would think a folder isn't the right kind of bike for a short ride like this...
