Folding bikes are a death trap.

Can you back that up with some statistics? How many have been claimed by these "deathtraps?" More than were struck by lightning? Eaten by alligators?

LOL yea the cheap ones you see on ebay are pretty rickety, if you look at the Dahon's they have massive tubing and the locks have a safety so they won't fold unless you really mean it.

Those are called recumbent. Funny word fits funny bike. Comfortable & expensive.

the only issue with those is it's impossible not to look like a complete douchebag while riding one.
