I like the Piccolo but if I were to do it again, I would have gotton a folder with 20 inch wheels. The only reason you would go to a 16 inch wheel is to board the inside of a bus. Otherwise, anywhere you can take a 16 inch wheel, a 20 inch wheel will have no problem. -Dahon Steve

I partially disagree with you, Dahon Steve. I first bought a Boardwalk with 20 inch wheels since I did not actually see the bike when it was ordered and I had to assume that 20 and 16 inchers were very close in size when folded. I bought a Brompton when I discovered that the Dahon was far too heavy at 29 pounds and too close to my maximun carrying capacity (30 pounds is my lifting limit) and not compact enough when folded to be brought inside with ease restaurants, classrooms, bus cabins, etc. for storage or transport. The Brompton (and probably the Piccolo) is far more suited for these activities.
