The Dahon Vitesse D7 is a slick, quick and light folding bike. The ride is very easy and sturdy. I use it for short and long jouneys. The bike is capable of keeping up with most other mountain or road bikes nd I do find myself zooming past most other bike commuters. I enjoy watching the faces on those I fly past as they peddle through their inordinate amount of gears, large tires and kit and I just simple peddle past without much effort. The fold is easy; after a bit of practice I can fully fold the bike in about 10 seconds if trying, if not then 15 seconds.
It may not fold as small as a Brompton , but after trying a Brompton bike I can say the Dahons feel much more like a regular bike and the fold isn't that much bigger really. Ideal for popping into your car, short journeys shopping, long touring and baically anything you can put it through.
I recommend this bike. Th e Dahon Vitesse D7.
Share your experiences, or if you'd like to try my Dahon out yourself I wouldn't mind showing it off. I live in Cardiff, South Wales. Check me on www.youtube.com/vindicatedbliss or www.facebook.com/tito.lopez. Nice.
