Good luck! I suppose try your best to test drive one before you buy so that you can get an idea of comfort. Try and get one with a comfy seat and that can be adjusted for your height.

In case you are like a lot of Londoners, you’ll have problems finding a safe and dry place to put your bike at home. The small house refuses to budge one more inch, and also the street seems to be the place bikes get left to find new owners. It’s also possible to would like to ride to the office, but car parking is difficult to find. If you ever try to get your bike into your building, the concierge looks at your bike as if it was a giant wheeled rat and refuses to let you onto the escalator. You may also long to take your bike along on a holiday that requires transit, but can not because of rush hour restrictions or outright bans on bikes on trains or buses. The answer you are searching for might be a folding bike.
Folding bikes could be taken with you directly into your home, onto elevators, and into your workplace. This works extremely well if you also cover your bike so that nobody has the chance to register “bike” and react to it.
Folding bikes also only rarely suffer the indignity of being stolen, because typically, the bike does not leave your sight. No more of that anticipation and dread as you walk back to your street-parked bike: “Will it still be there today?” Addititionally there is no need to carry a heavy NYC-proof lock with you while riding.
Throw away your assumptions about rickety, heavy folding bikes that are really hard to fold, fall apart while you are riding, perform badly, give you a poor ride, or require a lot of pedaling. These day there are a lot of reputable makes and models to choose from that alternately optimise easy folding and folding size, performance, ride, and cost.
Typical to most of models is that the handling is a bit more responsive than on a full-size bike, and that can take some getting used to. It is not suggested that you ride a folding bike without any hands or try any cute stunts. Gears on small-wheeled foldable bikes are higher to compensate, but limited gearing on some models may slow you down. If that is a major issue for you, you might like to look more toward higher end “performance” foldable bikes. If you plan to take many trips that utilize transit, a bike that folds quickly and compactly may be best for you. In case you are a tall rider, you may want to check out how each type of folding bike can adjust to fit you.
As with any buy, consider how you plan to use the bike and try to find the one that matches your requirements best. Understand that you often get what you pay for and that a lower-quality bike may make you wish you had got a new better bike in the first place. The greater quality folding bikes may seem highly-priced, but considering that a typical non-folding bike takes up more than 20 feet square in an apartment, you will save perhaps $10,000 over ten years by being able to get a slightly smaller home. Which means you can’t afford not to get a good-quality folding bike.
Remember that folding bikes aren’t for the shy. You will be asked about your bike constantly on the streets of London, so get ready to become a spokesperson for whatever bike you choose. Folding bikes are apparently the most thrilling sight many Londoners have ever seen!

I am on a budget of about $150. I want a bike for exercising on a paved trail about 4-6 miles that I will ride (hopefully) 3 times a week. I am limited on space and would prefer to have a folding (due to convenience) but could accomodate a regular sized bike. Should I buy a used $140 foldable Dahon or invest that in a mountain (or other) bike?
The Dahon is a great bike and at that price you need to snatch it up before someone else does.
The nice thing about a Dahon is if eventually you want to combine car and bike commuting you could because you can throw it in the trunk and go. Plus, if you ever do a Europe trip then you can easily lug that on all the trains and stuff in the EU.

Does anyone have a Dahon folding bike for sale in the Midlands for a reasonable price.. My son desperately needs one for getting to work.
I came across a website that features the top 3 folding bike brands. Brompron folding bikes, Dahon folding bikes and Birdy Folding bikes. These are new bikes and I don’t know your budget. They also have links on the site that point to suppliers that have the best price deal available.
I personally like the Dahon Mu EX as it is definitely one of the coolest Top Folding Bikes around. It is light and folds within 15 seconds once you know how. If you have the cash I would recommend this Dahon Folding bike.
The top folding bikes usually retain their value depending on their condition so if you find one where the price looks too good to be true make sure you get a bike mechanic to check it out first.
Hope you find the Dahon for you they are great bikes.

You should go to the Dahon website, and figure out exactly which model you have. Add more details about which bike it is, the condition of the bike, how many miles are on it, the year it was made, and the original price of the bike. Then we can give you a reasonable idea about what it is worth.
