Thanks Robert, The Montague is an excellent idea!
As it is, my DaHon (16" wheels) is a 5 step fold: 1. QR Seatpost down 2. QR rotate handlebars 90 Deg. 3. QR raise upper steering tube 4. QR Fold down lower Steering tube 5. Frame clamp hinge/fold bike in center.
On the plus side, it is a small fold, perfect for the Los Angeles area Metro. My wife says the folding bike is more "friendly" since it gives non-cycling passengers more space whereas my full-sized bike is more "selfish" since it gives me a better ride when I'm not on the train.
Re: Mini-Velo, yes I need one that folds, so I guess that would point me toward the Bike Friday Tikit?
