Bikes: Too many but never enough.

I bought a used Citizen Tokyo for less than $100.. to replace my Bike Friday Tikit.

Hope to get some modification to the stem to allow more extension to the reach of handlebars.



My commute includes a 1.5 mile bike ride, subway ride, 1/2 mi. bike ride, another subway ride, then 1 mile bike ride to office... that's one way.
I need a folding bike that is small enough to fit through NYC subway turnstile.
For my purpose, Citizen Tokyo is serving me pretty well, I like its small size, the gearing of the bike is not the quickest, but I've got other bikes that are meant to be ridden at faster paces.
The Tokyo seems to be durable, walking, sometimes riding it up and down steps of subways, NYC potholes, falling onto its side.. so far 1 month of ownership.. it's holding up pretty well.
