I have an Airnimal Chameleon and love it. It's definitely not a city-type bike, though. My bike rides almost as well as my racing bike. I only take it if I'm going to be somewhere for at least a couple of days that has some good riding (which CHO definitely does despite the dogs).

If you want a bike for around the city, there are some better options. The Bromptons that you see everywhere in the UK are popular for a reason. They fold up incredibly small, very quickly. An Airnimal doesn't. On the flip side, it doesn't ride quite as well.

I did quite a bit of research when I was buying and found www.atob.org.uk to be quite useful for a range of bikes.

Thanks,
