Camper World is having a sale on 6-speed Dahon folding bikes right now, TWO for $299.00 !!!! I have two that I paid a lot more for and would buy them again. They are not off-road trail bikes but are good quality transportation and built well. I have had zero problems with mine.

If you plan on riding very far, check out the Montague folding bikes. I've had mine for years and they're great. More expensive, but worth it.
