Dahon Roo. Fun For Everyone

Cute as a button, chick magnet and shorty are all terms that have been used to described the Dahon Roo D7 and D3 bicycles. These 20 inch wheel bikes are utility bicycles designed for short trips around the city. Most people first take notice of these small efficient bikes when they see a big 6 footer riding what looks like a child’s bike. They stop laughing however, when they see how great and versatile these bikes are and the amount of attention that these bikes gain from everyone on the street.

Durable and Functional

Your first thought when you see a Dahon Roo D7 or D3 in a bike shop is that it would be perfect for a 6 year old. However, once you read the specs on this bike you will become aware of just how perfect this bike is for the adult rider. The Dahon roo D7 is a 7 speed 24.9 folding bicycle that will hold a rider weighing up to 230 pounds. That is a pretty sturdy bike! You will be even more impressed when you see that this bike folds up small enough to store in your closet, carry onto a bus and even stash behind your seat at the local cafe.

The first question most people ask when they see someone actually riding these bikes is “Don’t you feel a little awkward riding such a small bike?” And indeed it may take some people a little time getting used to the attention they will get when riding this bike. However, as one reviewer put it, though he felt a little like the bear riding a circus bike he simply couldn’t keep a grin off his face.

This bike rides well, and is a go anywhere utility bike. Though you probably won’t want to enter it in the next grand prix bike race it is a great little bike for all those short trips around town and it is easy to just step on and off it.

Reviews of The Dahon Roo

There weren’t a lot of reviews about the Dahon Roo but, the ones that are available are great reads. Unlike most reviews which focus on the advantages and disadvantages of purchasing a certain bike, these reviews focus on the actual experience of owning one of these great little bikes. The experiences shared seem to be both positive and lighthearted.

These reviews get a lot of comments as well, as some of the people who actually own one of these smart little bikes do claim that these bikes are a real chick magnet. Though I suspect the women’s interest is more in the line of where to purchase the bike than anything else.

Conclusion

Either the Dahon Roo D7 or D3 would be a great bike for those living in the city. Most owners of these bikes seem to either have a great sense of humor or develop one after owning one of these bikes for awhile. People just seem to have fun with this bike.

This bike would be great for anyone but, for those who have just moved to a new locale and want to meet people, purchasing this bike will give you a great introduction to almost every one at that bus stop or local cafe.
