Ok, I will make sure the front wheel is secure: Press the catch and make sure the QR has enough tension. I think I now got a better routine of clicking in the front wheel.

So far I'm enjoying it very much. The ride is much better then I expected from folding bikes. I'm not sure that I really need the gear range. My route as flat as you would expect in the Netherlands. But it feels nice to be able to adjust the bike, instead of having to pedal heavier or spin out. And it means I'm riding 14 km per day more then before and on a
much better bike then my rusted beater. Now I'm riding a (still) shiny black ninja bike !

And today I tried a different pedal position when folding. Start with the right pedal higher than the chainstay. This way the left pedal ends up lower. And due to the sloping seats, lower means more room. Now the bike
fits between the seats.
