New Topic: Folding Bikes

posted by Lang'uid Squal'or, a student of the transexual art on June 23, 2003

I am interested in this bike, the Dahon Broadway S1 because it is cheap, and not much heavier than their top of the line. Of course, I will also have to buy the backpack (seen in the middle of this page, and probably a hydration backpack, a helmet, a lock thingy, and at least one spare tire, so I'm looking at $500+.

Do any of you in Austin know of a dealer of these folding bikes (or other brands) or such a thing used, in the Austin area?, because I could and would drive down to Austin to save a substantial chunck of money on these items.. Thanks!

I haven't been on a bike since the 80s, so I don't know anything about local dealers. Have you dropped a line to contact@dahon.com and ask them for Texas dealers? If they come back with some Austin dealers, I'll get some area quotes, if you'd like.
