Well, I'm really in need of a folding bike. I'll be riding public transportation (including Amtrak) and I'm going to have to stash whatever bike I get in my studio apartment. I'd also hoped to take it to Japan to do some touring next spring.

The thing is, even if I were allowed to wheel the bike around inside academic buildings, it wouldn't be practical to do so.
It's sad that a bike so well designed for my needs, is so well designed I can't use it!

I welcome suggestions. Surely someone on this board locks their folder outside?
