I’ve had a Dahon folding bike for years; perfect for short hauls from train station to work or home.
It weighs in under 20 pounds. I keep it under my desk in my office. They cost less than half of ths Stridas.

My first thought was that boaters would love these. Kathryn beat me to it. (What a life, eh?)

I would love one, but they will have to drop the price significantly. We ride as a family frequently, but it is getting harder and harder to tote 4 bikes around. As our children grow – so do their bikes.

Brompton Folding Bikes have been around since 1976 — they have a fanatical following among bikers who love to travel. I know several people who use them — they are very cleverly designed, and fold up easily — adjustable too. They cost about $700.
Check out the website or Wikipedia entry.

My parent’s have 4 of these on their boat! They are kinda strange at first – take a bit of getting used to, but they are great for when you pull into different ports/marinas for exploring the towns. The 4 of them take up less space than my 1 beach cruiser, & because of how they are made, they dont rust, so they can be strapped up next to the dinghy on the fly bridge in space that is otherwise unused.

Pretty nifty! Although for the price, it could look a bit nicer. As I write this, I’m looking at my husband’s bike that is mounted on our apartment wall. Not that pretty, but it won’t fit in a closet. This one definitely would fit in a closet!
