Thanks for the update!

When I got my Bike Friday, I immediately took it to a shop that sold Bike Fridays and asked them to show me how to put it together. That really helped me to understand the process of packing it. We'll see if it's that easy when the time comes I need to repack for my trip (late May). Right now, my bike is at the bike shop being upgraded with Ultegra components. I have the packing video, and I plan to practice packing and unpacking until I can get it down to 5 minutes or so (I have the Pocket Rocket). We don't have to take off the cranks for that bike- just the pedals, the front wheel, and the seat, then take down the handlebars and fold the bike in half. It's not bad at all, which is perfect for me, especially on those days when I'll want to jump a train when I'm in a foreign country, and they won't allow me to take a bike unless it's packed. And that case is genius! Converting it to a trailer to ride away in will make my life a ton easier. I can't wait until I start my first tour with it!
