That's what these folks think *cough*
And this guy, too
Given their high levels of stiffness, adjustability and customizability, I'm not aware of any functional difference between most Bike Fridays, Moultons and even the Swift than a minibike. (I'm sure Moulton will claim, for example, that there is no performance difference between a Bridgestone Fixed-Frame and a Bridgestone Separatable.) The differences are mostly aesthetic, and that a minibike with a more traditional diamond frame will take longer to pack.
