The way you're holding it in the first picture makes me think it's a little bit cumbersome, but it could be just the moment with you loaded down with your gear and everything.

The bike came with a strap attached to the seat post which, if I get everything aligned perfectly, will hold the bike in the "quick fold" position. I am less than perfect, so I use a bungee cord. Which has the additional benefit of not having to be rewound when I unfold the bike to ride, I just throw it into the trunk. Then I attach the luggage strap around the main tube, hold half the weight on my shoulder and (usually) the other half with one hand. It is a little bit cumbersome.

The stock weight on the model I have is 24lbs, without saddle or pedals. The quick fold is fine for carrying the bike in my trunk. I'd need to take off the front wheel to pack it in a suitcase. If I still had flat pedals on it, those might get in the way of a suitcase pack also, but I think the frogs would be okay.

Thanks everybody for the compliments
