I would like to get a bike to get around town on. Nothing fancy.

Any shops to recommend? Or pawnshops to pick up a $50 beater from?

Also -- I'm flying Southwest Airlines out of Islip and I was
considering borrowing a friend's Dahon 20" folder. I know I'm not
SUPPOSED to pay a surcharge for those things, but can I get
verification? (Yes, I'll also GIT with Southwest.)

I say hit the pawn shops. It'll be cheaper than a week's rental.

After scanning LV's craigslist I'm thinking the same. I can lock it up
somewhere and leave the keys at specified coordinates for anyone
visiting Vegas who'd like to borrow it. Community clunker.


That's a great idea. With the dry weather it will probably last
forever, just leave it parked in the shade.

Can you get it in my size?

This could be really great. Every borrower could add something.

And after a few years it will look like this:

Might want to temper those expectations. I'd imagine it'll look more
like this:
