Hi .. Sean61,
You are definitely not a newbie to cycling doing all those trips and at an average speed of 26 + km/hr on the basic Dahon Eco3. Congratulations!!
I guessed that you are from the Northern States, however, here in the Central, there are occasions that we do have folders outings by multi-mode transportation.
At this moment, not confirmed as yet, possibility of another outing by KTM/folders to the Sungkai Hot-spring sometime in September. If you are keen can pm me.

Hi all,
I am a newbie here
. The last time I owned and rode a bike more seriously was during my scouting days in school, which was some 40+ years ago.
Now at age 61 and having just retired recently I have decided to take up an additional form of exercise beside my usual hiking and jogging activities. So cycling came naturally into my mind. No MTB because I found I can hike up the BM hill faster than some MTBikers so will reserve the BM Hill for hiking only (for me).
Decided on an entry level Dahon Eco3 as I want the mobility to take along the bike in my car trunk to wherever I go. Since purchased I have covered over 800 km in the vicinity of Shah Alam and Bukit Mertajam. Found the Eco3 to be just adequate and will consider upgrading when my skill or shall I say strength and interest pick up.
Have added a basic model bike computer(Wireless) to keep track on my progress. My cycling distance progressed from 10km/trip to around 30km/trip and the longest trip I have done was 52.5km
, a return trip from Bm to Jawi, which was done within 2 hours at an average speed of 26.4 km/hr. Not bad for an Oldie on a Foldie huh, especially on an Eco3!
So far my cycling was done solo and would love to join in group touring, whether confine to folder or combine with Roadies or MTB's. And also to share in cycling experience
Look through the Dahon forum but noted very few Malaysian participation so try this forum.
Actually I wanted to post this in the thread by "kethon 27" entitled "Folding Bicycle like...........Dahon".
Could the Administrator move this thread under the above heading please. Thank you.
