I worked in Hawaii this past summer and there was a bike shop that sold folding bikes just a few blocks from our embark port. My impression is that folding bikes are more popular in communities that have a lot of boating (they are often marketed to boat-owners). I'm noticing more folding bikes in bike shops in Chicago and New York. I don't know what that means for port cities, but I think it does mean that they are becoming easier to find. On the Dahon website you can search for an authorized dealer: <a href="http://www.dahon.com/locator/nadealers.htm" rel="nofollow">Dahon Authorized Retailers</a> Hi Paul – thanks man, glad you dig the site.

It was a great help letting me know what to expect before my first ship contract in Alaska last summer. In another post, you suggested buying a folding bike after you get to the ship. Are bike shops common and reasonably priced in port cities? I would think that a bike could be easily damaged in with the checked luggage. Thanks! -Paul Hi David,
