I must admit, I didn't think much of them at first and thought you guys where a bunch of nuts!
Then I bought a 20" Schwinn Hinge (entry level) folder and now I don't see how I got along without one. I have a 16" Flying Pigeon on the way and the Strida 5.0 is starting to appeal to me. If my cheap Hinge is good, how much better is a quality folder I ask myself.

PS: Wheres a good place for folder accessories (panniers, tires)?

www.calhouncycle.com seems to be the one stop american shop for small tires, but you can get 20" tires almost anywhere
Panniers on folders are a solution in search of a problem, IMO, because you can fit so much more on top of a rack:

I couldn't agree more.
I've just added Swift, & STILL find my self say'n "...one more won't hurt, just one more.."
When I first picked up my Mu from the LBS, my 7yr old son commented, "Its just like a transformer!"
- More than meets the eye.
