I take my Bike Friday everywhere and rotate it with my "regular" road bike when I'm at home. I've taken my Bike Friday to Europe, out west, all over the east coast of the US. I rode the Natchez Trace on it a few years ago, loaded. It was great. It's very easy to pack and it's a delight to ride. It's a Pocket Rocket Pro. Try a few out--Bike Friday keeps a database of customers who are willing to let people try their bikes out. There might be someone near you.

SS coupled bikes are alot more involved to break down and pack up. I wanted to get SS couplings on my Luna but the top tube is not round, so that's when I went with the Bike Friday. I'm so glad I did--it's so versatile and I don't feel like I'm riding a "funny" or folding bike at all. And the thought of cutting my Luna in half was just too much.
