The Strida will fold faster, if that is a concern, but the Brompton folds small, and is just an ingenious fold compared with most.. I use mine for shopping (as a trolley with front bag attachment) and for restaurants (easy to fold and put under a table) .. the ride is less quirky than a Strida, but a Strida rides well enough for casual use .. a Strida would do what you want, but if you wanted something that was more versatile and still was easy to get into establishments, then you could spend more and get a Brompton..
