  • That depends on your definition of “folding bike”. It may not fold in the middle, but where I live this type of bike is still considered to be a “folding bike” by vendors, and more importantly, by train and long-distance bus companies, which will let you ride with one as luggage.

    The total volume of this bike when collapsed is actually significantly less than my middle-folding bike when collapsed, even though it is a bit longer in one dimension.

    All that being said, I prefer my 20" inch wheels to the 16" wheels on these bikes, because I get a rough enough ride as it is. I don’t think I could put up with 16" wheels every day on some of the roads around here.



  • Yep, it’s probably easier to get an Android device and install readers on it than to try for a prepackaged FOSS reader.

    I use several apps on my Android phone, but mostly Kindle (for Kindle, duh), PDF Reader (for PDFs, duh again), and Lithium (mostly for EPUB but pretty much everything else, too). I get most of my e-books as DRM-free EPUBs and PDFs.
