Don't try to use a shoulder strap for anything far, carrying a 20 inch folder really SUCKS! you'll think it's fine until you do it. Heck any folder over 20 lbs would be tough to lug around! For me it's just to the elevator and to my desk so I just grab it and go. But if I had to take the underground tubes and still wanted a 20 inch folder without going 16 inch, I would have bought the trolley rack for my Tern for sure. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SuZpMC5_fMI
This rack is cool but you need to somehow mount the extra tube to the frame so the seatpost can become a trolley handle.

Certain Terns have these mount holes already but to mount on a Dahon might be tough.
