Interesting link! His goal was to make the bike smaller to take on regular trains when doing "rinko" and the picture of him seated with the bike in front of him was taken on the bullet train (shinkansen). From April this year you need to make a reservation for large luggage when riding the shinkansen, but he didn't have to because his bike package was under the limit. I'm not sure where he's located in Japan, but if he's in Tokyo or Osaka the subways are sometimes so packed with people that there's no way he would be able to to take his K3 onto the train with him regardless of how small he makes it.
