More later on Moultons, but quickly Bike Friday is a very different bike than a Moulton. Yes they both have small wheels, but that's about it. I could go into the details but basically Moultons don't fold, they collapse or are take-aparts. The goals that Dr. Moulton and Hanz were designing for are also quite different. For more info look at Tony Hadland's book "It's in the Bag." I'm a big Moulton fan but I was also Bike Friday's assembly manager and back-up painter for 2 years. enjoy, Brandon"monkeyman"Ives Loves small wheels in Santa Barbara
