I used to do over 20 miles a day on it and it was fine for that, although I sometimes got a bit tired by the end of the week. And Dahons are evil....

GregP Aug 2009 9:50am, 26 Aug 2009 20,066 posts	GregP Well yes. As discussed (via Twitter) yesterday, there was a woman on the train with a Dawes that just folded in half. Pointless.

So it's hardly small at all. There's handlebars sticking out and pedals and what not. Surely that shouldn't be allowed. Of course only Bromptons should be allowed! :);)
