I tried the local bus service on Wednesday and got the folder on without a hitch. The bus driver didn't bat an eye. I did have to play with the bike position until I got it wedged so it would not roll around. Really convenient and because of me not taking a space in the front rack another rider was able to use it (two total).

Also, I studied the rack and the 16" wheels may fit out front. There is a "keeper" for the front wheel that causes any size bike to stay to one side of the rack (unlike some that essentially center the bike in the rack). That may allow the control arm to rest on the top and front of my tire (just in front of the fender). I'll try it out another day.
