I have though about getting folding bikes for travel but have been on the fence. I would like something that easily folds and packs for putting on a plane and taking on public transportation but that also rides like a dream. In other words, I want it all The Brompton folds great but I test rode one for about ten miles and didn't think it would be ideal for 20-30 mile rides. I have heard Bike Friday is a great rider (andy?) but it sounds like it doesn't fold small in a flash for hopping on a bus. The Ticket? Maybe.

Does this Dahon meet the bill for all around quality and ease?
