I stopped by BFold in NYC yesterday. Tried to stuff a Tern(or was it a Dahon?) with 20 inch wheels
inside the bag. I couldn't zip the bag shut; bike was just folded. I was going to ask the store if I
can let out the air in the tires. That may have been enough to squeeze the bike inside. But I can
see that they were already getting nervous that their brand new bike might get scratched; and I
didn't want to take any more of their time - so I just thanked them and handed back the bike.

The stated size for the backpack is 26in. X 26in. X 10in. But since the bag is canvass; there is a bit
of give unlike a solid suitcase. I think removing at least one wheel; a Dahon or Tern or Citizen with
16 in. or 20 in. wheels will fit. Bike Friday looked like they were too long to fit.
