Folding bikes circa 1989
From Practical Sailor magazine, May 1989. Perhaps surprisingly, the Strida, Montague and Moulton are still in production (in updated, improved models). Dahon has of course gone on to become the juggernaut of the folding world.

That was a really cool read. Thanks for sharing. I was a little surprised that Brompton was not mentioned.

Welllll...this is an American sailing magazine aaaaaand you might want to familiarize yourself with early Brompton history & how small their operations were until well into the 1990s.
