Took my MuP8 on a work project to a small island near Okinawa. While there's a break in the action I take my bike which is stashed under a desk and go PT. I'm pretty much the only guy on site with mobility. My co-worker is discussing getting a folding bike for this project as well.
Space is limited where we are and there are a lot of people yet my folded bike stays cleanly out of the way. I'm living in Oki right now and taking a boat back and forth to work and dragging the bike along. Logistically a tiny PITA but not too bad and I always have a ride.
When we extract in the evenings or for lunch we radio for a van to pick us up and wait. While everybody else is waiting I'm unfolding and riding to the destination. Not only am I usually getting there first, I'm humping about 30 km a day and getting a fair workout.
Will probably take off tomorrow and while my co-worker takes off with the rental car I've still got mobility to run around Okinawa. Bike fits nicely in the closet in the room on base and I don't have to worry about theft or weather.
I've had folders for a while but am just getting the hang of what they are for and exploiting that for all its worth.
