In fact, two of such bicycles can be folded and stored within the boot of a mid-size sedan (not even MPV or SUV), one on each side of the boot.
What I practically do is to store my bicycle and also squeeze in my son's 14-inch kid bicycle, and we can go to a park to ride our bicycles. This is done without installing any bicycle rack at the back of my car.
| I am using the MKS Promenade Ezy pedals on my Bike Friday tikit and I am loving it!
These pedals can be dismantled and kept separately, making the folded bike look more compact. There is however a small issue which is the yellow plastic rings (shown here in the images) that are supposed to prevent the pedals from being dislodged/released accidentally. My bike is primarily black in color and having yellow rings is somewhat a mismatch. |
What I have done is simply to remove the rings altogether and I did not have to worry about the pedals getting dislodged when riding (after 3 trips by now); the quick release design is "smart" enough to prevent the normal riding action from dislodging the pedals.

The rings are as shown here
