When my current car finally bites the dust, my parents have offered to sell me their older Honda. Definitely not one that I would look at if I had any other affordable choices (then again, the Buick wasn't first on that list either many year ago...again, no other choice), but hey, compromises!Viateciohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08523551407472141202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684843.post-66765208631637961572010-06-02T06:52:27.934-04:002010-06-02T06:52:27.934-04:00A GOOD idea!

I'm 6'3" tall, and fairly heavy and the one I have had for the last few years has withstood my (mis)use of it; I have needed to fit a longer seat post to accommodate my long legs, and have upgraded the tyres to Schwalbe puncture resistant ones, but apart from that the bike is as per stock.<br /><br />The fold mechanism is a hinge around the seat tube; combined with a slightly unusual frame design and a front wheel removable by quick release, it gives you a bike that will fit inside a space of about 30" square by about 18" deep. That's small enough to fit into a most non-4x4 car boots (I'm in the UK, land of iniquitously high fuel prices and cannot afford to run a 4 wheel drive).<br /><br />Worth a look, even if you just want to look at the rather neat design.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
