Yes Dan, I agree. Back when I started commuting by bike, the Metro didn't have "bike cars" so the folder was necessary, or at least much more appropriate. Now that there are "bike cars" (actually the area is designated for strollers and luggage too), I've been riding my 700Cwheel road bike.
Neither bike has fenders, by the way, so I won't get into the mud slinging that's been going on between the wheel sizes!
