My wife and I like to ride bikes around towns and shops when we stop at various marinas up and down the SW Florida coast. We are looking to purchase a couple folding bikes to keep on board on our trips. West has a couple for sale at $300 and $400. (last week they were each $100 off) Any recomendations on good yet moderatly priced folding bikes that you have experience with?
Thanks

Terry,
I would suggest that you start with the bike storage question.  Decide on where or how you are going to store the bikes then look at the bike market.  I bought a couple of cheep (under $100) folding bikes from Walmart and carried them on my previous boat without a problem.  I liked them and they worked better than expected.  But, I don't carry them on my C34 due to storage issues.
