brompton >> dahon

Whatever you do don't waste your money on an "Abio" folding bicycle.

Total waste of money.

*to back Dahon up here*, my grandmother had a dahon still in prime nick not a mark on it running super smooth, I got myself one of these 20" folding bikes, never looked back. I was near thinking of marrying the foldie never leave home without . Saves me lots of money to live in a swish city central apartment & ditch the car for city convenience,

DAHON an excellent well thought out quality bike, modern shocks, get you there with tons of 25 years experience details which you miss at first.

Seats too low darlin', you are gonna mash up yer knees!! Otherwise that is a very energetic commute..whew..

[FoldingBikeTester]

Oops - where is her helmet? Dahon make some good bikes. We prefer Brompton's for small wheel folders and Montague's for full wheel folders. And steer clear of no name chinese folding bikes if you want to be safe.

[antarameg]

nice

[trakkaton]

Dahon is no good. Quality is crappy. Breaks down easily. Bad, uninnovative folding mechanism.

[TYNSDALE]

Is her seat set to low? Look how much her knees are still bent when she is pedaling.

[JUKIO01]

she needs to raise the seat higher, i can see shes struggling a little bit

[kaz287]

what's with the music? is she on the run from assassins targeting her apartment?

[leepakim]

why doesnt she live closer to work?

[theWZZA]

I own and commute on a Dahon. Honestly it looks like she struggles with the weight when carrying the bike.

[estebankid10]

I have one the aluminium marinare in ROKKS I love it!!!

[FoldingBikeLife]

Fun video demo and just dramatic enough :) The only thing it was missing is a good chase scene!

[matanofer1234]

what really bothers me is where does she put the things she needs for work...

and why doesnt she lock the door when she exits.

[hellenic2010]

DAHON!!!......

[hellenic2010]

DAHON!!!! QUALITY!!!...

women with big purse

[infdrive]

@ADULTFLASHGAMES that "purse" is called El Bolso bag, it's mexican. I never used it, the wheels get dirty, the bag would get more dirty when handling the bike. It is useful in passenger trains (between cities).

[ynot6523]

Have been lusting after one of those for years! You've made my mind up!

Well shot video by the way.

:-)

As a Dub I know how fortunate you were to get the weather that day...

[rodrigod75]

If your a dude, you definitely want to carry this bike bare and not in a bag.

[chillyspoon]

Utterly bizarre that this is:

a) the very first folding bike video I have looked at out of everything Youtube has to offer

b) it's in Dublin

c) shot about 30 seconds from my office!

[swadorgk]

it's cool but i don't think i would feel comfortable carrying a bulky bike bag on the train. especially if it's during rush hours. still a good idea. just not for me.

[Gasher74]

Her sitting position is way to low - that's why it looks so stupid, when she's pedalling and she needs twice as much power.

[swiftprov]

what a fashionable bag

[lourisgr]

@swiftprov my sarcasm sensers are tingling

[TattiePeeler]

The clip starts just south of Dublin City Centre, close to Lansdowne Road Stadium, the Gasworks etc..

Geographically, it is all over the place.. and takes a few liberties. The person uses the LUAS, Dublin light tram, and goes out to Dundrum and Sandyford.

Busy! :)

Nice bikes, I own a Brompton myself.

[sr5813]

cool, but where did she carry the empty carring bag when she's riding?

i have a similar bike, very practical

[morebells]

In her backpack or purse, of course!

[tunalik]

@sr5813

something was on her back

[someonereason]

@sr5813 I was going to ask the same thing.

[formula1fan07]

that's a really cool bike, but I prefer using my car. It's easier, safer, more comfortable and much faster. This sort of thing only makes sense in huge crowded cities.

[pusztatube]

Well, it's not bad to get some excercise while going to work.

[midtoad]

A great example of bike-transit integration allowing a bike to be used for commuting long distances.

[WarSymbol1]

cool!!!
