Transporting Your Bike

All 16- and 20-inch wheeled folding bicycles

can be transported by the methods described

in sections a, b, c, and d below. Bikes with

24- and 26-inch wheels, as well as road bikes

with 700c wheels, have limited carrying ability

and will not fit in public conveyance overhead

compartments. Of course, using the methods

described in sections c and d below are no

problem. Our suggestion for commuting and

medium distance travel is that it is best to use

a nylon bag carry bag. For long distance travel,

the 24- and 26-inch wheeled bikes, and 700c

road bicycles, should be packed in a sturdy

travel case.

Carrying

Carrying a 16- to 20-inch wheeled folded

bicycle is quite easy for extra short to me-

dium distances. For Jetstream full suspen-

sion bicycles, make sure you have the black

nylon strap that came with your bike to bind

the wheels together. Simply grab the bicycle

and carry by the saddles edge. When cross-

ing a threshold, boarding a bus, train or

airplane or stowing the bike in an overhead

compartment, you will need to pick your bi-

cycle up. When the occasion arises that you

need to travel or commute and want your

bicycle with you, feel confident knowing your

bike is ready when you are.

Rolling

A much easier and more efficient method

to transport your 16 to 20-inch wheeled

bicycles is to roll them on their wheels. Re-

member that the Jetstream fork and frame

must be bound together so the wheels will

roll. Raise the folded bikes seatpost and

saddle approximately 305 mm (12 inches)

and tilt or angle the folded bike towards you.

Then simply push the bicycle forward. This

conveyance method is perfect for travel

from parking lots to a bus, train or airplane

terminal and transition from rough tarmac or

driveways to smooth granite or tile floors.

Bag

This is a clean and efficient method of pack-

ing and carrying any of the many Dahon

bicycles. Simply place the folded, collapsed

or packed-away bicycle on the opened bag

that is lying on the floor. There are spacious

internal pockets for any parts that must be

removed such as pedals and any tools that

you might need later. A nice neat package is

visible when the sides of the bag are pulled

up tight and the handle/shoulder strap is

fastened. The entire operation takes only a

few seconds. It is perfect to carry your bike

on any sort of public conveyance or to carry

in a car. However, the bag is not approved

for airline check in.

Travel Case

A semi-hard travel case is a perfect long

distance transportation solution for many

folding bicycles. They work well on any pub-

lic transportation system. Many travel cases

are safe enough to withstand the most

difficult luggage safety challenge, which is

checking luggage in at the airport. You can

find travel cases large enough for most 16-,

20-, and 24-inch wheeled bicycles. Howev-

er, when carrying bikes with 26-inch wheels,

the wheels must be removed.
