Absolutely. There are certain niches where you really do need to focus on portability.
But like you said, a bike like this is extremely expensive, that’s because a ton of budget is going into trying to counteract the main downsides of a folding bicycle: They’re clunky, they’re inconvenient, and they’re heavy.
But for anyone who is able to sacrifice the floor/wall space, a standard bicycle will be lighter, and specc’d with higher quality components at the same price point.
Neat, but I’d never buy a folding bike (and neither should you, unless you truly desperately need it to take up as little space as possible.)
Your doctor stared at you as if they were going to throw back a couple more vicodin?
I mean, of course they do! Austerity starves working class folk, and leaves them desperate.
Desperate people, largely, don’t have the energy, time, the means to fight for better labour conditions, better wages, better insurance, better benefits, or really anything. Starving people don’t have the means to fight.
That is… until people have nothing to lose, then the gravity-powered socio-political equalizers come out.
Whoa whoa whoa! No need to be so hostile with each other, why can’t we just get along?

That’s because all the good shit* comes from humans.
*but also so much bad shit. So so so much bad as well.
Thank you. It needed to be said.
For anyone else wanting a link. Here’s the YouTube address in usable form.
IMO, the video is fine. The presenter’s constant interjections get pretty tiring, but yes. Orange man makes a right fool of himself. As always.
That’s a good point. However, less is better than more, and some change is better than none.
Celebrate progress.
I’m sorry, but preemptive apologies are fine.
Anyone telling you otherwise is anti-Canadian. 😜
I mean, this isn’t cute, but it’s at least a little funny.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s horrifying for sure, but it’s also pretty funny.
Think the world might collapse? Maybe NOW you’ll consider buying into the crypto grift! I swear it’s definiely a good idea this time. I super-pinky swear it’s a good investment.
Just ignore the countless times crypto has shown it’s really only useful for scams, and money laundering.
I know this post “addressed” this point, but not to the extent that anyone with a partially functional ability to reason will be convinced. Here’s my problem… I find it excessively hard to believe that in a collapse scenario anyone would be interested in trading goods for crypto.
Guess I’m the 0.1%
