Answer 1

It is the best idea yet. I take the train and take the bike with me and then ride it to work and at thev end of the day, I take the train back home and ride from the station to my house, I ride the bike about 2 miles, so I am getting some much needed exercise also. I am already starting to feel better.

Answer 2

Most normal bikes are lighter, better, cheaper, safer and there's a huge choice of models, sizes, transmissions, brakes, tires, accessories... so do it only if you have no other choice.

Folding something that wasn't intended to be foldable is not a brilliant idea - a bike's frame should be as rigid as possible, that's why in it's original form it consists of two simple triangles...

Answer 3

Have you seen gas prices lately? Thats the best way to go dude.
