My Favorite Summer Accessory by Dahon

This is my new baby.

For those of you who think this looks like a typical bike, look closer.

It folds.

Yep in 15 seconds this 32 pound, marvel of technology, fits into a carry bag. No need to hoist it onto the car's roof or tire rack + pray. On the technical side, it has an internal hub - meaning no surface grease + the awesome ability to change it's 7 gears without peddling.   This allows for a smooth, even, non-clunky gear switch. It has large 24" wheels + lots of cool small stuff like: 2 lights, bell + integrated rack pack bungee.

Did I mention, it's beautiful? Leather-like seat + handles, in a unique copper color, is cool enough to get a lot of  second looks. This new early morning obsession, before the annoying cars pollute the road, is fun. I peddle to the grocery store for a few small essentials - usually bananas! Ah, the joys of  summer.

Hard to find this model,  it's worth the search. See all the Dahon City Bikes here.

So keep cool + enjoy the simple, yet sophisticated, pleasures.
