  1. Has anyone seen a folding bike that looks like a regular
    road bike? I would like a folding bicycle that I could do
    double duty. As a road bike and that can fit in my trunk.

    You don't state what your budget is but Bilenky makes
    some excellent bikes and have most of their models
    available in "travel" packages which use S&S couplers and
    even include the case.

    I don't own one yet but it's definitely on the "must have
    before I die" list.

    =v= Well, you can take (or make) a regular ol' road bike and
    throw a hinge in the middle, S&S couplers or something.

    =v= If you want a bike that folds better and still *rides*
    like a road bike (though doesn't quite look like one), I'd
    recommend a Bike Friday:

    Road races have been won on these beauties. <_Jym_

    as someone who owns an S&S coupled bike keep in mind
    that even if you get good at it breaking down and
    putting together an S&S bike is not something you want
    to do all that frequently. if you plan on doing it as
    part of your commute for instance or even weekly get a
    proper folding bike.

    Was that you, a slim guy in a silver aero pot on a
    BikeFriday towing a trailer, in the NYC BikeTV segment on
    the New York folders ride?

    We had a bike film night and there were some clips from the
    2003 ride.

    =v= Indeed it was. Here's a still photo from that same ride:

    New trailer, but the same bike I had in Vancouver. <_Jym_
