I like my bikes to be ultra-uber-rugged way beyond what a folding can do...but as folding bikes go, these are actually pretty cool!

[cranius]

for consultants who spend the year travelling all over, carrying a bike on a plane in addition to normal luggage isnt an option. the air series fold down small enough to actually carry on.
