Surprise, surprise....WOW!!

If you want, I'll get you an Ikea bag. It could be a couple of weeks before I get to it, though.

redroadie-that would be great. Such a nice offer. Thankyou. Thankyou. At least that would give something to put the bike in and carry as needed, when I needed it.

I will check out some of these other local chains too to see what I can find.

It just occured to me, what if I call their customer service line and ask them about purchasing a bag? They might say No, but it could be worth a try. You don't know until you try or ask, right?

I'll keep you posted, ok? If you need my info, PM me.

Thankyou,
Red Rock

Would a duffle from REI work?

I'm checking all possible options right now. Redrorhodie has a bag coming my way though so that will help.

Wow is right - nice surprise :-) I hope you get many miles of enjoyment outa this new toy. I bet Dahon and the magazine would both love to get a ride report from you, and a picture or two.

And if you ever decide that folding bikes are icky and you want me to give it a good home, I'd bite the bullet and give your bike a nice place to live out its life. hee hee- just teasing. I hope you LOVE that bike to death. You look great riding it in the pics. Fits you like a glove.

evangundy-Yes, I have thought about doing a write-up. I just have to get used to it first and log some real miles on it to feel "comfortable". All the other bikes fit just right. Then I would like to do something wothwhile enough for a write-up. (How is my normal life, unique? Perhaps I need to think like Pardes.)

Tri Girl-As strange as it may sound, when I told my dad about this he was like, "you might want to sell it", "you can just throw your other bikes on the back of the car or in the truck and go for a ride." It was like he did not understand what made it unique. Then I told him that people were picking these up these days. Then he said that that was more of a reason to sell the bike. At the end of the conversation, I was a little taken a back to say the least. For me it is a new adventure and a learning experience. I have read that some people have something like 4300 miles on theirs??!!

I have had the bike adjusted to fit me better since it has been into the shop so the bars will not be so high now. I just need some quick release skewers on the wheels for my sanity and flats.
