OHHHHH! I didn't grok that you had an Ahooga! I hadn't noticed that was YOU who posted the video. Oh that'll be sweet when you convert it to 2X. A 50/34 won't add that many more gears, you'll have a bunch in the middle that are duplicates, but those 2 or 3 additional lows make all the difference on a steep and/or long hill that you can't climb all standing, so need to spin up. Pushing hard while seated can hurt my knees.
For travel, I should be able to get just as small with my 20" bi-fold, by taking off both wheels. But the Ahooga is a lot less effort to get that compact. Taking off the rear wheel on my bike is a mess, not to be done frequently.
