I ride the BF for pure exercise and fun; I ride the Dahon when I need to carry stuff or it is crappy weather. But it allows me to keep the accessories off the BF and keep the weight down so I can easily carry it up the many steps to the Bart trains.
I picked up a Travoy on ebay for hauling light loads around behind my new
beast of burden, the Helix. It collapses to a small size, & looks like it will be
more versatile & better handling better than my old Bob Yak.
But the Yak was good for things like a small drill press.
What do you think of the seat post hitch vs the axle hitch?
