Bike Friday is offering a preview on their new pack in a backpack bike, which weighs in at as little as 16 pounds (presumably the titanium version, built for a very small rider).

Interesting concept, but I'm wary of the separate bits you have to put together - forget to put a pedal in the backpack, and you're SOL. Will there be real advantages over Dahon/Brompton and friends? Is is really a folder, if you spent a couple of minutes dismantling it each time?

Thoughts?
