Well... I think a few of us Brompton owners would beg to differ... the "just trundling along" means we don't ever have to set down the bike if we're pulling it along in the semi-folded position with the handle still up: I just let go of the handle and the bike remains freestanding in the same folded position. In addition, if leave the handle up with the bag attached the semi-folded bike becomes, for all intents, a "shopping cart" that you can wheel around while browsing. Finally, several of us have replaced the stock wheels with aluminum ones or roller blade wheels, making it even more manageable and stable. I'd argue that the Brompton is the most maneuverable and versatile bike when folded.
