It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

I've got a bag for my Tern folding bike, but it's a PITA because the bike folds like a book (so it's wide). Plus, it's got 20" wheels. A Brompton would be easy to fold up and carry around in a bag.

Bromptons and Birdies are great at that. I've got a Priority Folder (similar to the Tern) and pretty much just fold it up under my desk at work. One of these days I'd like to get a Brompton C-line but they're stupid expensive.

It really would be nice if Brompton came out with a sub-$1000 bike. Not only would they reclaim market share in this space, but those riders would very likely upgrade to the more expensive models down the line.
