(More customer reviews)I brought this Dahon Glide bike before spring 2010 just to start to learn riding a bike (never own one before); and have been on it every weekend since it's deliver. Try it in the park, on the trial, on the road and even dirt road. Very smooth ride. Like I stated before, I am a total beginner in terms of bikes, def not a pro, but I can see the quality is super sturdy, and very well build. I have to said it's totally worth every penny for the style and quality. I lived in a small studio apartment, so space is very precious, every inch counts and that's why the fold up option is perfect for me, I can fold up the bike and store it in the closet. It's amazing how fast and small it become once it's folded. I can store it in the car trunk and take it anywhere. The ride feels more like a full size bike, can't really tell the difference if I did not mention it folds, people normally couldn't tell.
But I have two problem with it, one is that the handle bar height is not adjustable. Being 5'-3" tall, I feel that when I'm seitting on the bike, my body is leaning forward a bit too much when compare to the upright seating position on a regular cruser bike; the second is the bike is a bit too heavy (at approx 32 lbs), it's kind of hard to carry (or I should said drag) around - especially on stairs. Tt kills me everytime to walk up the 3 flights at home.
MY PERSONAL overall comment: Great bike for "Bigger" / taller people. I would not recommended for anyone under 5'-3" (my height). You will not be able to carry it around. Hope this helps for anyone who is considering.

Smooth, effortless, graceful? that's the dictionary definition of Glide, and it's the perfect description of our favorite lo-step folder. Instead of jumping in the car for that trip to the local café for a baguette and a latte, grab a Glide and cruise the streets in style. The UpRide frame geometry puts your body in a relaxed upright position - like you are walking, just a lot faster. You've never ridden a smoother, more comfortable bike. And when it comes time to fold, you'll really appreciate how fast and how small the Glide packs down.
