Another thing to look at are the folders.

I've got an older Pocket Rocket. Not quite as nice as some of my road bikes, but it is OK, and makes a good travel bike. Surely quicker to pack than an S&S bike.

They have a suitcase for the bike that converts into a trailer.

I've met some smaller women that absolutely loved their Bike Friday bikes. Many different models available depending on your needs.

And all made right here in the USA in Eugene, Oregon. The company does have pretty good customer service.

They also have packable Tandem bikes.
