Compact Bicycles:EROL

Body Text~Dahon Compact bicycles offer the same ride and comfort as a traditional full-size bike, but in a compact, foldable package that you can take anywhere. With Biologic™ II geometry, larger 20" wheels, and a longer wheelbase, Dahon Compact bikes are ideal as an everyday city bike or weekend tourer. Yet, they still fold small enough so that you can jump on a bus or train or catch a ride with a friend any time the mood strikes you. Ride one to work and avoid traffic hassles: keep one (better yet, a pair) for weekend trips; or ride one around campus. The options are limitless.~~~766~775~~
