The reason these bikes exist is size. I certainly didn't buy the bike because it saves size in my house, but some people might. I was talking to a couple this weekend that bike almost everywhere and they said their apartment is so tiny that they don't have room for a an extra set of wheels to mount studded tires on. Some people in apartments might find these easier to lug up and down the stairs. These would be great for people who do multi modal transport since they are smaller and one guy that has the yellow Windsor like that his fits in his cubical at work.

For me I just wanted to try one and I thought it might replace one of my folders which its it going to do just that. Its great to have a bike that fits like a regular bike, but is small enough to throw easily in the trunk if I want to have my wife pick me up somewhere or on a trip out of town I can easily put it in the trunk as well. Its a nice additional tool in my commuting bicycle toolbox. I think its pretty fun to ride and I look forward to getting it all set up the way I like it more over the next few weeks.


Here is a crappy pic of me with my bike to give you a bit of an idea of the size of it. Mine is the small/medium and I am about 5'10" I always blink when my picture is taken even if its the camera on a timer apparently LOL.
