I am considering getting myself a folding bike for my commute. I figure these are the advantages:
- Can take bike on the train and use at the other end (trains here don't allow bikes in rugh hour trains - much good that does!).
- Bike won't get stolen, it is always with me.
- Should save me close to an hour a day over walking.
- Would allow me to go more places without buying a second car (my wife absolutely needs our first car on workdays).
Here is my question: has anybody done this? Is it workable or have you given up on it? Tired of lugging a 25 pound bunch of metal tubes onto the trains/buses on top of anything you have to carry anyhow?
I appreciate all comments!
