Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

Since it looks like we'll be more limited on space than we thought, we're considering folding bikes. We've managed to  sell our tandem and our mountain bikes so we have a good replacement fund to start with in our search.  Any recommendations or any brands to avoid?  We like to ride paved trails, don't mind city streets too much, but have gotten past the point where we need the thrill (and scares) of really steep mountain bike terrain.

Ruth,

Used the "Search" function for this one.  Of several threads that came up, this was the only one with any real information.

We have two 20" folding bikes we got from Camping World. We are not avid bikers, but they work well for us around campgrounds. Six speed gearing more than adequate for our needs. Never really took them over any distance so experience is limited.

Thanks for the info everyone. We love riding paved trails and don't mind street riding if traffic is not too heavy. We're going to test ride a few of the folding bikes the day after our house closes, I'm trying to be open minded but as I look at these I'm not sure I would have wanted to ride one up the Mammoth Lakes ride we did last year, 1800 feet elevation in 5 miles and we used every single one of the low gears that we had on our old bikes and coming down hill, well we really tested the brakes and our nerves! Now, we don't always ride trails like that one, but I want the option to be open to us if we want to try another trail like that again. We love the mountains and even the paved trails are generally not real flat so I was concerned about the lack of gears.
