You can get fairly cheap ones...and they're easy to store and transport.

No, but I will, thanks.

....do you know anything about them? are they very robust or mostly novelty? I weigh more than I should and the road the bus comes on is a dirt road -would a folding bike hold up as well as a real one? I can't see them lasting very long with all the collapsing and uncollapsing, but the storage and weight aspect is certainly appealing. One of the thigs I liked about the $800 bike was the suspension. Would a fold-up bike make any acomodation for this?
