My plan is to pack the bike in a suitcase, fly to destination, unpack the bike, then put on the trailer kit and ride off on a solo self-supported tour of 400 miles or so. I would be riding mostly on paved roads. Maybe an occasional gravel road or rail-trail, but 95% pavement. Flying with the bike a couple times per year. I know there are a lot of Bike Friday riders out there. Do their suitcase/trailers hold up? What about Origami? Thanks for any advice.
