About the Citizen Bikes

Hi! Thank you so much for you post, it is so great to know that the citizen bike can be squeezed into luggage! That is SO HELPFUL!! I have to travel a lot and find myself renting bikes to get to know the places I'm in so much... I've been looking into getting a folding bike and am a bicycle newbie (it's one thing to know how to ride a bike and another completely different to be able to identify the best brands for parts and what accessories are needed for which activity). With that being said, I was wondering if you'd recommend the Citizen bikes for light off roading? Nothing too major, just regular trails, some hills here and there? I really love the Citizen Miami bike and budget wise it's right up my alley, but would love to know if I buy it will I be able to use it for a long time to come, to go exploring the places I travel to regardless of bike trail conditions?

Thank you SO MUCH!! Have a great day!

I thought it was ok for the price; I even did some light off roading with it. Fast forward one year later;
Jetblue Air wouldn't let me check-in my Brompton in a cardboard box as my 1st piece of luggage on an
international flight. Instead of spending US$350 on a BW case for my B'ton; I purchased a used Tokyo
on Craigslist. Disassembled and squeezed it in my luggage then flew with that bike to Aruba.
Had a lot of fun.
