Sounds like the best of all worlds!choc chip addicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08066001921690426945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1699723721822136614.post-61633229933709081702012-04-07T11:33:16.149+01:002012-04-07T11:33:16.149+01:00Chris--Thanks for the link.

One of my coworkers puts his bike under his desk every morning. (I think he has a Dahon.) Apparently any bike can be converted to a folder. I recently read a story about a <a href="http://www.sandsmachine.com/a_syc_r1.htm" rel="nofollow">San Francisco bike messenger</a> who has a SyCip with an S&S coupling. He has 90k miles on his bike and the joint has never come loose!<br /><br />Mom-- Oh cool!!! That's great news. I'm so glad he found a cottage there. I can't wait to hear more about it. He must be really pleased. :)Hitchhiker42https://www.blogger.com/profile/17574465382591441135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1699723721822136614.post-6711177628370178332012-04-06T21:45:57.105+01:002012-04-06T21:45:57.105+01:00I am so happy for you!

They make a <a href="http://www.montaguebikes.com" title="Montague Folding Bikes" rel="nofollow">folding bike</a> for exactly that same purpose. I think the idea is that you can land and be instantly mobile, and untraceable (or at least less traceable than with a hummer). And they make a pretty sweet commuter for a small apartment too.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13180322956429047153noreply@blogger.com
