Folding bike suitable for 3 mile commute

The offending attachments were not bolts, they were pop-rivets, so Halfords had no reason to check them. The issue is really a bit of poor quality design. It just needed a minor modification. I could have replaced the pop-rivets with nuts and bolts, which is probably someting the manufacturer might consider. Halfords gave it a look over, but as it is a folder, they didn't build it as it came already built. All they had to do was unfold it and check it over. It has 7 gears. But so far I have only used the top 2, and top gear is too low for me and I'm spinning at 90+ rpm most of the time. I might consider changing the cassette at some point to up the gearing.
