      It’s so one can roll it when it’s folded.

    I have a newer but still old Dahan folder and it kind of fires my other much more capable bicycles as a transportation device, which I did not expect when I got it cheap off of craigslist.

    It isn’t super fancy or anything it is just absurdly practical.

      A guy at my local shop has a really cool one. Most of them are sick but this one appears to be a big time stinker in my eyes.

        I almost picked up a Dahon Mariner but ended up getting a Priority Folder on sale instead because of the belt drive and IGH: Less maintenance and no derailleur to catch on anything. I’ve heard Dahons are pretty good folding bikes though.
