I then place the bike in the trunk followed by the two wheels. The whole operation takes under 10 seconds whereas folding the Bike Friday and getting it in the trunk takes me at least 20 seconds. [I do realize that the Cannondale is aided by having wide enough rims and skinny enough tires that no spreading of the brake calipers is needed, nor do any of my bikes have the 'lawyer lips' that complicate the use of the QR levers.]
