Much later I bought a Dahon Alumnium 21-speed folder and, aside from using it on BART and CalTrain, I keep it in my van for backup transport on cross-country trips. I also use it to get back and forth to mechanic’s shops when van, motorcycle, or Stokemonkey needs work.

The interesting story of this bike is here:

Always dreamed of a Brompton, but just couldn’t quite get over the price difference!
