To all:

Just read the WM flyer and saw bikes were on sale. At first I
wondered why they were selling bikes (no coffee yet this morning!)?
How may folks here carry a bike onboard? Just the 'mini' type or ones
for longer trips?

World's best bicycle guy. Seriously.

Dahon folders are pretty popular, and you can stick two in the bottom of a
medium size hanging locker. Eric Sundin (at above link) also has a set up
to
add auxiliary electric power to the bikes..not a bad idea for island
exploring
around here since marinas are always at sea level, and most islands are
mountaintops. :-)

Caveat: If you never ride a bike at any other time, you are unlikely to
become
an avid cyclist when you go boating.

For those interested in such things, Friday's (7/11) Wall Street Journal did
a review of foldable bikes in the Weekend Journal section. The Dahon
Boardwalk D6, at $250, was awarded best value. Best overall was awarded to
the Swift Folder, which can be had for a mere $820.
