As part of his test run with the Speed Uno, he took it on a 6 kilometer ride. While he said it was exhausting, he really enjoyed the challenge.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe support from my family and friends, and encouragement from other Drivers has been great,\u201d Roger says. \u201cEveryone struggling with weight loss and finding ways to keep active on the road should have one of these bikes in their truck.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Dahon Speed Uno is a single speed bike featuring Shimano Coaster Brakes, simple set up and fold up and\u00a0easy storage. It\u00a0retails for $500-$600 CAD.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Check out this video of Roger testing out the Speed Uno:<\/p>\n<div class=\"fluid-width-video-wrapper\">\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"584\" height=\"329\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3-RL4caS_y8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>You can follow Roger on Instagram <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/bluejaysroger\">@bluejaysroger<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Would you like a folding bike?
