I have been running a forum for the Birdy Full Suspension Folding Bike for about 5 years now. See, https://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/birdybike/

People should distinguish between collapsible and folding bikes. The Moulton and Bike Friday, and bikes converted with S&S couplers are collapsing bikes. These are excellent for trips and touring but don't serve well if you need to fold/unfold often and do it quickly. The Brompton and Birdy are good examples of top of the line folders. They fold very small in 10-15 seconds. Either is a good choice. The Brompton folds slightly smaller than Birdy. The Birdy is a higher performance bike, more suitable for touring than the Brompton, IMHO, which is a good choice for many commuters (where the distance isn't too great and there aren't any challenging hills).

As the price of gas goes up I expect more people will become familiar with these bikes
