Your self-reliant attitude is commendable, but, IMO, it's one that isn't
widely shared, unfortunately.

Anyone who lives in the upper Midwest generally carries "survival gear" in
their cars. Those who don't have clearly never been stuck in a snow drift.

(Of course, a folding bike wouldn't be of much use at this time of year!)

Personally, I wouldn't use a folding bike (or think of it) as "survival
gear", but rather as just another fun option to have while motoring. There
have been plenty of times that I've been in a state park where I thought
"wouldn't it be nice to have a bike"...

If Mark could build one for around $100 bucks, I'd buy several. And I
know a lot of other people who would, too.
