I suspect I'd go for a folding bike that serves as airport transportation over one that serves as grocery cart. But this bike is pretty nifty!

Cool design experiment, but I don't think I'd actually buy a bike that was dedicated to grocery shopping.

But it's not. It's also a bike (for riding around) that you can take into ANY store and can put your stuff into when you ride around town.

Interesting concept, I wish they had a bit more technical information on it.

It's nice to see more bikes, but it's not going to carry that much for all the doubtless vast sticker price. I suppose the real market would be rich people in places with lots of bike theft.

Cute; but when I can take my current, non folding, bike into stores I don't see the point.

I like that bike but it looks like a concept only. I highly doubt Cannondale will ever make a folder like that. What I like about this bike are the baskets are out in the open so store security can see you're not trying to steal groceries. Other folders have you putting the products inside a bag which draws attention.

Often the bike racks on the bus are full but the bus driver won't let you on the bus with a bike, even a folder. But this one maybe you could pretend it is one of those walkers. I've seen ones with baskets before and the bus drivers have to let those on.

This assumes that they don't realize that it can be used as a bicycle.
