Hey Mark -- does your company make a decent (and affordable) folding bike
for pilots?

It seems like all the ones I've seen are either (a) way over-priced or (b)
junk. And in at least one case, both.

I was at Sam's the other day and noticed that they had one of the Montague
Hummer folding bikes for less than $300... The Montagues advertised
elsewhere were at least twice that price... Not sure how good they are
though -- never had a chance to ride one...

I'm really not into talking down competitors' products, but the Hummer
bike is pretty marginal for those who'd actually plan to ride it any
distance. There are better folders out there, though they cost quite
a bit more (that inescapable law of physics / economy).

A couple options:

www.bikefriday.com
www.dahon.com

One of the problems with folders is that there might be a considerable
amount of rigging to get 'em ready to roll. For those of you who
regularly attach wings, that's not going to seem like an
insurmountable obstacle.
