Don't get me started... my folding touring bike will do everything an LHT will.

Folding bikes can do pretty much anything they get designed for be that multi modal commuting, touring, racing, or off road riding.

The LHT is a nice bike and an inordinate number of them get used as commuting / city bicycles which is understandable as commuting is about as rigorous a use that you can subject a bicycle to.
