REVIEW: SCHWINN Comfort Bike Seat “Commuter” – 10 YEARS LATER…

I got this Schwinn Comfort Bike Seat “Commuter” ( https://amzn.to/3xJjb6O ) about 10 years ago. It was for my 2008 Dahon Mariner D7 folding bike ( https://amzn.to/2wP5Qvx ) that had a narrow standard seat. I needed something with more support for upright riding comfort and got this. This is a 10 year review of this seat.

Stuff in this video:
Dahon Mariner: https://amzn.to/2wP5Qvx
GreenField Kickstand ( https://amzn.to/3rCYpEW )
Aluminum water bottle cage ( https://amzn.to/3rKd6ps )
Catseye Wireless Bicycle Computer: https://amzn.to/3IkWSJk
20 inch rear bicycle tire ( https://amzn.to/3lBSvjw )
Schwinn Comfort Seat ( https://amzn.to/3xJjb6O )

All Aluminum frame is lightweight under 30 lbs, and no rust. I still am using the original brake pads and front tire. The 20 inch rear bicycle tire ( https://amzn.to/3lBSvjw ) has been changed 2 times over the past 12 years. The headset needs tightening every 2 years or so.

Some of the first upgrades to my Dahon Mariner was a more comfortable saddle , I got a Schwinn Comfort Seat ( https://amzn.to/3xJjb6O ) as it is more of a upright seat with elastomer rubber bumper suspension and well supported and padded cushion over the original Dahon seat. The draw back is the heavier weight of the new seat.

I upgraded the kickstand to a GreenField Kickstand ( https://amzn.to/3rCYpEW ) for the bike as the longer led was more stable than the original. An aluminum water bottle cage ( https://amzn.to/3rKd6ps ) and Catseye Bike computer ( https://amzn.to/3IkWSJk ) was added next.

Overall this has been a great lightweight folding bike that has traveled with me in my car, mass transit, lunch rides, and out of the county. It has been dependable and low maintenance for years due to its design and aluminum frame.

Does a Dahon Speed D7 folding bike fit in a 2016-17 Chevy Volt?

I just got the 2017 Chevy Volt and needed to fit my two 2008 Dahon D7 folding bikes into the Chevy Volt with a spare tire. This video goes over a few situations with the Dahon folding bikes and Chevy Volt, with the seats up, seats down, and tire on its side. They sell the current year Dahon Mariner D7: https://amzn.to/2wP5Qvx Btw, my Youtube vlogs and reviews may also have associated affiliate links to products that may earn from qualifying purchases.

Weighing at about 23 lbs its one of the lightest folding bikes produced. I have owned this bike new since 2008, and it has been my primary bike when i travel or for leisure riding. It was very affordable compared to a custom brompton or bike friday and provided a lot of value for the cost.
