[QUOTE=tcs;23237502]So you don't necessarily want a folding tandem, just one that easily fits in your vehicle.



I've hauled my tandem a zillion miles (1.6 zillion kilometers) slid into a minivan with the front wheel off and the fork resting in a holder. It's the work of a moment to do this. It's nothing. It's trivial.

You are correct about not necessarily wanting a folding tandem, just one that will fit easily in my vehicle and later on a bike rack if I change vehicles. The Bike Friday will fit inside my minivan and could be hung on a rear car rack without extending beyond the car van mirrors without taking wheels off. As you mentioned, I could go with a shorter wheelbase 26" wheel tandem and remove the front wheel and probably achieve similar transport ease. The front wheel on my Electra is kind of a pain to remove so maybe with a quick release and simpler brake system my feelings would change about which way to go. Trying to balance ease of portability and good ride experience.
