I resemble that remark.....About a year ago I got back into biking because a tall young man effortlessly, one-handedly, hoisted a unique bicycle onto the bike rack of my transit bus....It looked like a BMX bike with extended seat & handle posts....Turned out to be a Swift Folder...As he extolled its many virtues, Mr. Toad (me) began to murmur, "....Must have one....."

I ended up getting a Dahon Helios SL (superlight)....17 #s...NOT soaking wet!....I my baby, so strive to protect her from the rude elements.....Of course I don't always succeed, but my baby doesn't mind.....My baby me!
