Basically my bf is an NWT, earlier model. Does not roll. For shopping, I would lock the bike up and just roll in the travoy. I currently lock my bike to shop now, but I do not purchase more than one shopping bag worth at a time because of carry limitations. I can't buy dog food or bbq charcoal on my bike; I have to use the car. The times I would strap the bike to the travoy would be when I use Bart and don't want to carry the bike. I am able to carry it (it is around 25 lbs with accessories) but I would much rather be able to roll it and take it on escalators. If folded and strapped to the travoy, I can go on the escalators instead of schlepping up stairs or counting on a working elevator. I can quick fold it very fast, less than 30 seconds, to pop it on and off a trailer.
My favorite movie theater will not let me bring in the folded bike, but I'm going to ask them if I can bring it in covered on the travoy....it's just like a stroller at that point. Hopefully, it is a yes and another reason to get one!
I think they are okay with stuff you can ROLL out of the way.

the bar mast fits in a clip on the frame tube to hold it straight. (Pack-it Under development Wont)
I bought a Carry Freedom City Trailer , A folded up Brompton can Lay across the top of their bag
That is slung across the trailer frame.
Once the bag is removed the wheels swing inward and the trailer folds flat.
I suppose where you go you dare not leave your Bike Outside..
your Travoy will be full of Bike while in the shop , Right? .
I suppose the stuff is in the shopping cart and at the grocery check out you un pack the bike and pack up the stuff you Bought..
I have a Pack to Travel Bike Friday Pocket Llama I wont try to fold it up much at all .
its more a Go in the suitcase at beginning and end of trip, Rig.
The fold of the Tikit (and the new Packit) are better at that.. 349 wheel like Brompton.
