[QUOTE=mattygobatty]Crimson, I am so glad you posted about this, because I have been thinking the same thing. I would like to broaden this topic to not only include Air, but any form of mass transit including trains, ships, buses, subways, you name it. My fold up, also a P8, changed my summer and I don't think I will ever travel again without seriously considering bringing a bike along.

I totally second the emotion about SF and Montreal. As a like minded New Yorker, bringing a folder enhances the quality of enjoyment while visiting other cities. Reading your post I'm also reminded of the beauty of the Lachine Canal ride in Montreal and of the unique beauty and surprise of the SF terrain. Like you, I try to vacation with cycling in mind. It's a work in progress with my family to consistently vacation this way, but the upside is I now have 4 folders to choose from for my daily ride.
