Folding Bike

Folding Bike Mania   by Sami Rmaila

There has been huge social movement towards folding bikes. Dahon, Brompton, and Kent are the top manufacturer of these specially made bikes. They have many different styles and performance structures. Many people own a bike because of the portability of them. They can be used anywhere and can be transported very easily.

Regular bikes are not allowed in taxis, buses, or trains. Folding bikes however are allowed because they are a carry on item. This gives the rider the ability to choose the place where he would like to ride and simply jump on a bus or taxi and get there. A person who owns one of these bikes has the ability to explore more of their surroundings not only near their home but anywhere they choose.

There have even been official folding bike races in some cities with a huge following of enthusiasts. People are truly beginning to see the benefits of what these bikes can offer. There are many different styles of bike including half or mid fold, Triangle hinge, and break away among others.

Many of the uses for these bikes are very helpful. They work great for hikers that want to ride and walk trails. When they are not riding the can just fold their bike up and throw it their back. Other people use theirs for commuting. They save on gas money getting to work every day by riding their folding bike. While at work their bike can sit neatly beside or under their desk. For people who live to far from their work they can simply jump on a taxi, bus, or train to a place where they are closer and simply jump off and start riding.

If a person is looking for more of a long distance performance bike there are many out there. They are specifically designed to conform to the rider’s ergonomically correct posture; thus making a confortable less stressing long distance ride.

The amount of high quality bikes available is astonishing. There has been much research and development done. They are made with great craftsmanship and there are many changes that have been made in the past 25 years in regards to technological advancement. These bikes have been worked on, made, and used since WWII. This is over 65 years of advancement and research that has made the folding bike a great piece of recreation equipment. People can really take advantage of bike that is very versatile.

Brompton’s Cocktail $10.38 Meg Hentges doesn’t waste much time here letting you know which side of the sexual divide she’s filing dispatches from. The first verse on this album is the striking “in every school in the Midwest/all the queers are at the bottom/just above the poor and pregnant/just below the Future Farmers,” and elsewhere, with occasional help from bassist, poet, and co-lyricist Jude O’Nym, she outlines struggles to reconcile lesbianism with religion and family. But while the lyrics are intelligent and sometimes powerful, it’s the music on Brompton’s Cocktail that really demands attention. Expertly produced by Adam Schlesinger of Fountains of Wayne, the disc sets Hentges’ guitar-based songs and no-nonsense, Lou Reedy vocals into backings that veer from crunchy, Cars-style new wave candy (“This Kind of Love,” “Heaven Sent”) to shiny folk-pop (“Silver Shine”) to cool adult R&B (“Not a Minute Too Soon”), each coated with an irresistible pop sheen that could warm the hearts of all but the most tone-deaf Religious Righters. Even when Hentges simply muscles up and turns her former folkie stylings into sledgehammer riff-rockers, as she does on tracks like “Tattoo Urge” and “Dirt,” the results are pretty impressive. The tongue-in-cheek birthday greeting to author Ayn Rand is a bit pretentious, but it’s the only real misstep of a remarkable — and remarkably catchy — effort. ~ Dan LeRoy, Rovi Performers: Adam Schlesinger – Glockenspiel, Multi Instruments, Keyboards, Drums, Organ, Percussion, Guitar (Electric); Danny Benair – Percussion; Jude O’Nym – Bass; Meg Hentges – Loops, Sampling, Slide Guitar, Guitar (Acoustic), Vocals, Guitar (Electric), Organ
