Ras is on the road a lot and loves to ride when he&#8217;s not traveling. He also has a sailboat in Brooklyn; the bike gets him to and from the pier, and folds down so he can bring it on board.<\/p>\n<p>I didn&#8217;t ask for specifics on the bike model, figuring I&#8217;d just Google it laster (this always works!). But after doing the searches, I&#8217;m a bit stumped. The small lettering reads &#8220;Compact 20&#8221; and the large lettering reads &#8220;G. Dragon&#8221;.
