That reminds me of my first greyhound bus ride. I didn't know how they act with folding bike. So I covered the folded Brompton but left the zipper a little open to carry it on the saddle. In the ticket like a guy couple spots behind me loudly asked me "WHAT BIKE IS THIS?". I answered as quiet and discretely "a folding bike" just to get another "WHAT BIKE?". I answered "a brompton". At that time the cat was out of the bag but luckily the counter person never questioned me about it.
