Expensive yuppie toys. It is just as easy to rent a bike at the port or
carry your own bmx style that can be purchased used at garage sales for less
than $50.

New Stowaway Bike Options Unfolding
(by Chuck Gould)

One of the most useful accessories one can carry on a small boat is a
folding bicycle.


some beginning in the $300-$350 bracket.


the Giant Halfway retails for $525
and the price includes a cover.



Woopie!


three Brompton models that retail at
prices from $650- $1075.


What a bargain.


The basic, "Birdy
Yellow" retails at $1050, and the top of the line "Birdy Ice
Blue" sells for $1500.



Why lovie dear, will you please pass the Grey Poupon?


For an additional $1300, a BionX electric assist system can be
retrofit to many of the models. The battery-powered motors are designed
to assist, rather than replace, human pedal power. When this story was
prepared in late March, Eric had an outstanding buy available on some
electrically assisted Dahon folders, (the Dahon "Zap" was priced at
just under $600).


Why not just walk?
