I'm thinking people would probably only use the bag if stowing it on a train, etc. It's so light, and grease-free, and the stem/seat connect instead of flopping around, so it would just be easier to quick fold and carry as is. that's what I do with my BF except I have a "shroud" to cover the wheels and chain to avoid grease and dirt, and that is not necessary here. For most people it would be a one-handed carrry, leaving one hand free. If you want both hands free I am sure you could get someone to sew a clip on the other long side of the bag and attach a shoulder strap. Would have been nice if BF had done that, giving some options for carrying, but maybe the weight shift is weird. Have to wait until some folks get them to see what works best.
