I think in this area you very much get what you pay for. I had a cheap eba
y
folding bike and you could get it in the plane, with some difficulty, but
it was thoroughly unpleasant to ride. I now have a Brompton and I think
it
is brilliant - marvel of design and engineering, light, very easy to ride
and fits very easily in the back. But at a price (I think about =A3500).

I am considering buying a folding bike to carry in our Europa and wondere
d
if any owners had experience of this. Please note we have the old style
non
extended baggage bay.
I have just changed jobs recently and my companys head office is about a
150
mile drive away. I only have to visit occasionally but I thought it might
be
fun to drop in by air - 70 nautical miles from our local airfield
Bicester.
Problem is the nearest airfield at the other end, Earls Colne is 5 miles
---From the company. If I had a small folding bike I could ride there (just
me,
no passenger).
Question is how easy is it to get a folding bike into the aircraft
(passenger seat or baggage bay) and if so what would be the best size/
make.
Any advice appreciated.
