I just discovered this neat piece of kit you can put onto your Dahon Folding bike. It is the Biologic Bike Mount for your iPhone. What more can a tech savvy folding bike enthusiast ask for.

Now you can stay in touch, view your directions, enjoy your music and film your ride without having to lift your hands off the handlebars. Brilliant!!

The Dahon Mu XL Sport has been hailed as one of the best small wheel bikes available to date. This little speedster is the next generation Mu SL, everything has improved – the ride, the comfort and now its easier to maintain than ever before.

It is a light weight bike weighing only 11.4kg and is one of the best folding bikes in the light weight class. This stylish sports model is the perfect urban runaround – for exercise, for fun for whatever!

The trademark curve makes this Dahon bike easy on the eye and aids in the quick fold away that takes up only 35X80X66 cm. You could literally sling this feather weight over your shoulder and carry it home.

What separates this model from the previous CL model is that it contains a Shimano Nexus 8 Premium hub. So much easier to maintain on those city commutes. Because of this excellent hub the Mu XL Sport has been awarded the title of ‘lightest hub geared bike’ available, anywhere.

Together with the uniquely Dahon patented frame, V-clamp and fusion technology this sporty urban classic is bound to turn heads. In attractive gun metal gray, the XL Sport comes with all the added extras. A luggage bracket, a kickstand, mudguards and a reflective pants clip are just some of the accessories you can enjoy on your Mu
Is it the best folding bike out there? Probably not, but for the attention to detail, refined technology and special convenience it’s all you will ever need. It also fits squarely into your luggage and yet has Dahon’s Special edition Schwalbe Kojak tires, for endless grip, handling and speed.

So what’s the damage on such a revolutionary urban bike? This city crawler will set you back $1,199. It’s well worth the signature ride a small wheeled bike can give you during your busy lifestyle. A true sports upgrade for the discerning cyclist.

Having a little fun with the The folding bike guru

“The 4th Brompton World Championship will be held on Sunday 4th October 2009 at Blenheim Palace, Oxfordshire. The Brompton World Championship will again be held as part of the Bike Blenheim Palace event; after a successful collaboration in 2008, both parties were keen to join forces again and work together on this year’s event.

The Brompton World Championship is in its fourth successive year, its second in the UK; the first two races were held in Barcelona, Spain. The Championship will again be larger and better than the one that went before, and to reflect this the field has been opened up to another 100 competitors, bringing the total number of entrants to 600. Places will be awarded on a first come first served basis, but in the light of the increased numbers, we will introduce a system of self-selected streaming, based on anticipated race times.

The Brompton World Championship is not merely a mass participation ride; it is a race, registered with British Cycling, with participants timed while completing a set number of laps over a specified course.

The 2009 event will be held over the same circuit as the 2008 race and will comprise of 2 laps of a 6.5km course; this will give last year’s participants the opportunity to beat the time they set over the same course last September, and maybe to beat the time set by Tour of Spain winner, Roberto Heras!

The course takes in many of the key landmarks of this World Heritage site, so even if you aren’t hell bent on coming first there will be plenty to keep you occupied. Alistair Kay, winner of the Brompton World Championship 2008, dubbed the event: ‘a fantastically eccentric British day out’.

Rules for the event are pretty straightforward; helmets are a must, as are a blazer or suit jacket, collared shirt and tie. Sports attire is not permitted, unless it is hidden by the approved kit! There is a prize for the best-dressed, so competitors are encouraged to make an effort.

The deadline for registration is Sunday 20th September 2009.“
