Are you a "frequent folder" and carrier, like on a daily basis? Or do you mostly fold your bikes for travel?

The last time I folded my trifold bifold was several years ago for a train trip (excluding when I fit my own Deltech). When I do fold it, it's a bit of a pain, as both frame hinge and handlepost hinge are clamped pretty tight to eliminate wobble, I sometimes need a plastic tent stake to pry up the hinge handles in recent years, due to age. I only carried it the distance of on and off the train, it carries terrible. So, infrequent fold and short carry.

If I was a frequent folder and carrier, I'd have a trifold.
