I think there are multiple ways to look at the concept of a multi-mode commuter. There is getting the fold small enough (is smaller better once it is small enough?). The Tikit is small enough for my multi-mode commutes, but maybe it isn't for yours. Then there is how quickly does it fold and how easily is it moved around once folded? The Tikit excels in those two areas.

I'm about as average as you can get. I ride 57-59cm road bikes, wear 32" inseam pants, and like road bikes with a 57cm top tube and a 10cm stem. That last one is were most folding bikes fail me, they are much more upright.
