If marketed as a convenience, or even as a safety device ("Never get
stranded again!") I believe that an affordable folding bike could become
the
next "gotta have" thing for the general population -- not just pilots.

Of course, you would need to replace the tires with the air-free urethane
tires so that when you need it, it wouldn't have a flat... You would have to
get the size down though... Current folding bikes are still to bulky for
most people to want to carry around with them all the time...
