Wow, that was a crap post, worse than usual, by the eternally consistent master of shite, dumbout.  Let's push that one down, shall we?  If you live in the big city, getting around on a bike is kinda nice, easy to weave in and out traffic, uptown/downtown in a flash.  Problems arise storing your bike when your apartment is 250 sq ft.  Leaving your bike in the community bike parking is no better than putting it on the street, putting it on the street is no better than putting it in the Bronx.  Thing just takes up too much room, you can turn it into a clothing rack, or basically, you just give up and deal with this space hogging albatross.  But no more, folding bikes are becoming more popular, tho no less dorky.  Usually ridden by eco conscious doods wearing Thom Browne suits, you will see this species zipping through Midtown and around the Meatpacking - the more creative areas.  Bike makers have gotten more creative and Dahon offers the Mu Uno, I can't really tell you much about this thing, so go ahead and read more.

In many cases, less really is more. That’s why we designed the Mμ Uno, a single-speed with no brakes to fuss with, no cables to adjust, and a backpedal brake that whispers to you to try a power slide. The inspiration? A visit to a dealer in the Netherlands who wished aloud, “Give us a bike that is durable enough to ride every day, no matter the weather, with a single gear suitable for fast riding (because the Netherlands is flat), and light enough to easily carry up and down the stairs in train stations easily.” Wish granted.
