Dahon Bikes ? Friends of the Environment http://bikecycles.org/ Dahon Bikes ? Friends of the Environment There were a number of stated goals when Dahon Bikes opened their doors back in 1982. Along with the desire to give the public a great ride, it really wanted to develop a more environmentally friendly way to get around so that more people would get on board with this eco-movement. This means that Dahon Bikes are ahead of the competition design-wise. For one thing they fold, making Dahon the best-selling folding bike the world over. Folding quickly so that the rider can then climb aboard public transportation, this bike is small enough to carry on and not get in the way. With just a hinge and a latch, the folding is done smoothly without the need for any tools. In just a few easy steps the rider’s Dahon bike is folded and ready to move. One Unique Angle This amazingly unique angle to building bikes is the same no matter which model one is talking about, from the biggest Matrix to the tiniest Curve 3. Quality goes into each design. Moreover, riding these cycles, you’d never know that it was a folding bike. It is that solidly put together. This is something that you will appreciate from the outset. The Bikes’ Backstory The mission that permeates Dahon is to design and build solutions to moving green for people living an active life. To implement this company mission, Dahon tries to get people, governments and organizations to utilize transportation that will impact the environment in the least damaging way possible. By grouping Dahon bikes into this definition, it is important to keep in mind that these bikes aren’t the whole solution to commuter’s transportation needs. Nevertheless, not only will you find yourself using a bike more often but you might also see more of the inside of trains and buses. For this reason the bikes are created to be able to fold small so that you can carry them onboard any public transportation vehicle. Dahon Is Not All About Making Money Dahon would like to be known for more than just making money with their products. They want to be able to say that they are making a difference in their world, such as being a part of Bike to Work Day, Mobile HIV/AIDS Clinic, and the Bay Area Bike Coalition, for starters.
