Thanks The 16" wheel bikes climb pretty well. I used to have a 16" wheel 5-speed Dahon Stow-Away that I bought at Target back in 1988. I still kick myself for selling it. In 1992 I climbed Kingsbury Grade (the shorter 3.5 mile Tahoe side) with it, and it did great!

I think I'll just get a new 20" wheel 8-speed Dahon, since it has aluminum rims, quick release wheels, and weighs less than 25 pounds. I'm keeping the 16" wheel bike though. It's still the smallest folding bike.
