There's not a doubt in my mind that of all the bikes I have, I would take the Mini if I had to commute by train or bus frequently.. there is no particular downside with it... With the 8spd Sturmey hub and super brakes, you can ride it like a regular bike up and down hills in relative comfort.. then fold it to this pint sized, lightweight package... I was going to stick my Garmin on it and go for my normal 8mi lunch run, but the day is just too packed... I like the iridescent green frame... reminds me of a pair of Haggar slacks I had in highschool...haha... what's interesting is it's not shiny, but a flat finish... looks durable... won't know 'til I start knocking it about...errr, I mean my girlfriend starts knocking it about....one thing's for sure, it is a cutie!!
