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.
