The thing about Bike Fridays is that they don't really fold easily, do they? Except for the Tikit? I read that their fold is more for packing into suitcases than for every day commute. And given that, they're pretty expensive. Pricewise, I am flexible but for me to spend $1000 on a bike, it should really be perfect. All of the easily folding bikes I come across seem to be built for bigger people. Even the lightest models (which are always most expensive) are rated for 220lb riders. A bike built to carry half that has GOT to be lighter, no? And cheaper because it shouldn't take as much fine engineering to do its job well.

I'm thinking something with 16" wheels and proportionately sized. Ideally I'd like a bike with a Brompton fold or as small as that. If only Brompton made a bike for lighter people... Anybody ever seen anything like that? I read about the Dahon Sweet Pea, but with 14" wheels I'm not sure it would ride well...
