Default New Year weight loss plans ???

Hummer or a Montage because my daughters are embarassed to ride along
side daddy on a Dahon. To them it looks like a kiddie bike. :^)


Before we had 2 folding bikes, I borrowed a friend's Dahon and we took it
and a Go-ped (gas powered) in a 172 to First Flight NC. We agreed I'd ride
the go-ped and she'd ride the bike to the beach, and we'd switch on the way
back.

On the way, a woman sees us ride by and yells "Typical man! Making the woman
do all the work!"

We still laugh about it with great regularity...

What you needed was a 15 foot piece of rope, to tow the bike rider!

I have had my Dahon for a while, still love it but might get me a

I guess I would have to agree with them on that one... I would have to be
pretty desperate to ride one of them... The Montague Hummer model looks like
something that you wouldn't have to get used to people snickering about...
When I fold the rear seats down in my Grumman, I can put 2 full size bikes
in there as long as I remove the front wheels... A quality folding one would
be nice, but it's not a high priority to me right now...

The built bikes are assembled in the US though (although there are
almost no viable US-sourced components).

Yeah, it seems that even if you do get a frame that is made in the US, the
various other components probably aren't made there... I'm not sure what
this says about us, but I don't think I like it... Hell, I still ride an old
(i.e. mid 1980s) Schwinn Sprint from back when they were made in the US...
I'm not sure if all the parts were made in the US though...
