Well, everybody's multimodal commute will be different, and what's jim-dandy for one person might suck for someone else.

I've used the full size bike multimodally a couple of times since BikeFriday sent me an email two months ago telling me my tikit might suddenly break and kill me. Here, it's permissible to board a light rail train with a full sized bike, it's just not always physically possible during rush hour. Man, I really miss having a folding bike.
