Interesting to know, as I always feel bad for people riding folders with 20" wheels on rides they don't seem suited for. To me, a folder is great for city riding and cruising on a boardwalk, not for riding a bikeway like the one to Jones Beach. I should note, though, that mine is a single speed from the 60's or 70's.
Anyway, I'm glad you are happy with it and that it doesn't limit the places you can ride. Are you the person I've seen riding the white folder on the Bethpage Bikeway?
