That's great, but now that they have to be places quickly it's an outdated
method of travel, ineffecient for today's travel requirements.

You're one of the hazards on the roads if you ride during bad weather.

Why would you need a folding bicycle? Buses have racks on the front of them
for carrying bicycles of those that want to appear as if they rode the
bicycle to work. {;^)

In my family, we have one car for 4 licensed drivers. We brought up our
children cycling, and now that they're older (one is a Junior in
High School and the other is a Freshman in college), they have continued
the good habit. I commute by bicycle to work year round, regardless of
weather, unless the roads are treacherous. My commute is 8 miles.

Nowadays, if I lived in a large city with mass transit, I would combine
mass transit with a nice folding bicycle.
