They faded out with the decline of bike interest. Now there are a number of hindrances to their general adoption: folks just cannot as yet be persuaded to saw their bikes in two; folding bikes on the market usually have itty bitty wheels and there has been no competitive testing of the various systems of folding. My system of folding is very simple. No hinges or trick latches- just the most common sense arrangementpedalling between buses and hitched rides, etc. Eleven years ago I had my shop full of bikes in process of being converted to fold. The highway dept. took my home and shop and choice commercial location... I have not been able so far to get back into business. john L. Coffin Star Route Ava, Mo. 65608 (beside the bridge 4 mi. s.)
