Here are some photos of my new friend, the D3.\u00a0 No, not the Nikon (I wish…), but a foldable bicycle, the\u00a0Dahon Curve D3. \ud83d\ude42 Best thing about this bike is that it folds into something that can fit in my trunk.\u00a0 And I’ve gotten compliments from random strangers as well as lil’ chillren that want to take it for a spin.\u00a0 As far as bikes go, the little tyres actually ride comfortably, but their dimunitive size makes going downhill kinda scary.\u00a0 Turning radius and the lines you have to take are much different than with a bike with bigger “dubs.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Technical Notes:<\/strong> Off camera\u00a0SB800’s on the pavement or in the grass. Hi speed flash sync and wide open at 2.8.\u00a0 The parking lot pictures weren’t planned, we were just waiting to get a table at Thai Norcross (in my top 5 Thai Restaurants in the ATL btw).<\/span><\/p>\n

The above photo\u00a0shows\u00a0the D3’s\u00a0size compared to a Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder, which costs more than most people’s homes. \ud83d\ude2f<\/span><\/p>\n
