It all depends on the bike. My Airnimal Joey rides almost as nice as a full size bike, but it does have 24 inch wheels, not 20 or 16. A couple years ago I rode it for an ACA week long van supported trip in West Texas. I could fit my Airnimal into my S&S case, it flew for free as one of my two checked bags on Southwest which is the reason I took it instead of my titanium bike. None of the days were over a hundred miles, but I think a day or two might have been metric centuries of 100 km.
