Anyone know anything about them? I looked at the ones on ebay and they look pretty shitty for the most part.



Been looking at these:

Oh man I hope your not serisouly going to buy that crap Phins. You would look like a Shriners parade. All you would need is the doofy hat.

Buy a real bike that is more your size man.

I need something folding though, that's thing, I am gonna need it for traavel and the wut not. there's 26 inch styles around, might have to look at them, although they take up a bit more space.

I'm sure a folding bike would be okay. Just buy one of the pricier ones. The cheap ones are surely junk.



FWIW, I think this would be a much better way to get around:
