Thanks guys!
Yep.

Bike Friday - quality folding bikes at a fairly affordable price. Their customer service and after sales support (dealer or customer level) are top-notch. Both cannot be said about the dahons (pm me if you want more info - I built/repaired/warrantied those extensively). Carey one of the co-owners owns a (or more) bike fridays, he'd be a good person to talk to about those bikes if you need help figuring out which model you want. The folding and unfolding with the hyperfold models is extremely fast and does not require resetting of bars/seatposts (dahons). Go test ride some of them and check it out.

Another brand to consider is Bromptom - we used to carry those as well but I think we sold off our last ones about a year ago. I considered folding bikes just before I moved out of t-dot, for commuting via go-train. You can take those onboard even during rush hour. Haven't had a need for a folding bike here yet - all the buses here have bike racks and I live in a 1 bedroom place so I have plenty of room.
