Need some recommendation for folding bike. Planning to use it for mixed commute like car/bike or lrt/bike. I'm about 186-188cm, not sure if the 20" bikes are okay.
Also, looking at bicyclebuysell, some I noticed are RM500 and some at RM2000 despite same size, not sure what specs I should be looking at here.

Hey peeps, i just recently got myself a cheap, used foldie (Garion). It works surprisingly to my liking. I know, plenty of others that would be way better but im still a student so budget is very low xD Need to ask, anybody know where to get a cheap carrying bag for foldies (20")? Is it okay if instead of carrying the foldie, i just drag it along (using the wheels, not drag the steel body on the floor  )? was thinking to save money and just use IKEA bag but that one considered like last option for me la

QUOTE(zeliustitan @ Nov 17 2014, 04:25 PM) go to Mike Bicycle shop in FB to grab fake dahon carry bag.. cost you Rm50 only if you are talking about Ikea Blue Bag, maybe can fit but if you are talking about Ikea Dimpa bag, you can forget about it because it wont fit. yeah, that blue ikea bag xD though, the only concern is whether or not the strap will koyak but ill just leave that for desperate measures anything i should prepare for bike maintenance? i only got basic tools like screwdriver, wrench and a WD-40, doubt it will be enough for proper maintenance or should i go to shops for maintenance instead?

found a way to move around with my Garion Bike (folded) without lifting like crazy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOWihIDGSGManyone looking to buy a roller kit or something, try take a look at this one first, it may help you  p.s. this probably wouldn't be good when you're in the airport though
