portability of the Mini

Don't know if anyone else noticed this, but if you fold the handlebars between the wheels the wheels line up, making for easy wheeling while folded.

I took Gollum on the A train this morning at 8:40am, and had nary a problem. Don't need to use the service entrance, it easily fits through the turnstile; if you don't put down the seat (mine's fully extended) you can wheel the bike around in front of you. On the train it sat patiently between my legs, took up less room than other people with their rolling carry-ons.

This weekend my wife tried it and for the first time in her adult life wanted a bicycle, namely, mine. my 8-year-old niece got on it and rode around like it was made for her. Gollum is the shizzle.
