Your best bet might be a Bickerton=2C as it has a nice ride (my daughter ha
s one)=2C and your trip is 5 miles x 2. But when you consider the cost and
the number of times you would acually be using it=2C you are probably far b
etter off to take taxis.
I bought a perfectly good titanium bike from Walmart for about 150 dollars.
It weighs 21 pounds.
I tried to use it at Oshkosh=2C where it would have been ideal=2C but it is
forbidden to use bikes there.
I assume it's the same at Sun'n Fun. So it was a complete waste of money.

Hi Carl=2C
I purchased a pair of Dahon folding bikes in 2003 and they are excellent. T
he frame is aluminum with 20" wheels and the fold / unfold operation is sim
ple and fast. The all up weight is 24lbs each. The down side is that they
cost a lot=2C over $400 US=2C and that was when the dollar was actually w
orth something with lower commodity prices.
The new style has a different frame and comes in at 22 lbs. Take a look at
http://www.dahon.com/us/muuno.htm I have do idea at the cost.
I have an XS and the two bikes will fit in laying down=2C I am fairly cert
ain that you could fit one bike standing up in a classic baggage bay.

I am considering buying a folding bike to carry in our Europa and wondered
if any owners had experience of this. Please note we have the old style non
extended baggage bay
