fits in a compartment inside a plane ... depends on the plane .... and it is surely not legal to do so as the Brommie weighs just a little bit more than the allowed 20 lbs. For somebody who has been on a flight where most of those doors opened up and all that stuff was flying around in the cabin it is further of no question to me, to never pack anything hard and heavy in those overheads.
Besides although small it never fits inside the measuring cases which are located on most gates.
But I digress....
You almost want a simple ( but good riding ) one speed ( or two speed automatic ) bike, no thrills very easy to fold, reasonable light.
Dahon Mu uno comes to mind as well as Tern Uno or Tern Verge DUo .... OR a Tern Link Duo custom bike for an attractive price ?
( that would be my choice, but I am biased ..just a little )
