=v= For commuting, Bike Fridays have a "quick fold:" the frame goes into three parts and the
handlebar stem folds down. It's two quick-release levers and will certainly get into a slipcover at
that speed.
=v= You only need to do the "travel fold" when you're putting the bike into a suitcase, not for
everyday commutes.
=v= Caveat: the V-framed "Air Friday"/"Air Glide" models do not "quick fold" as well as the
original design. Basically they just fold in half, which will at least get you onto most transit
systems. <_Jym_>
