I like that traveler rack, it will have a lot of use. I am now seriously considering getting a folding bike for me to just bike commute to work everyday. Gas prices today are ridiculously expensive.

Dahons have a remarkably good value. They also have some nice accessories for their bikes which make them more utilitarian, IME. More broadly, for non-sporting rides, I've always argued that folders are a good fit for many riders.

Carrying loads on the front wheel actually improves the handling characteristics for folding bikes, in my experience. Without getting technical, it tends to slow down a steering a bit to compensate the "squirelly" handling associated with small wheels. You'll also notice that you can leave one pannier on the bike when it's folded. This is especially handy if you roll the bike while folded.**

I'm happy to see the bike reviewed here. I hope you enjoy it.

** In some instances, one would rather keep the bike folded when rolling it instead of carrying the bike. With a Dahon-type of fold, I extend the seat post, tile the bike, and roll it while holding the saddle.
