Re: stretch bikes
The usual advice is bring something cheap, nominally comfortable to ride, that won't break your heart if it gets trashed or disappears. Not sure if those bikes give much advantage for travel.

Odd. No bears in the dump. Oh well, lets go across the road & pick blueberries.

... but don't harm the red dragon that frequents the area from time to time. He and I have an agreement.

Re: stretch bikes
Why this bike? Do you lack space to carry a regular bike?
Edit:
This is a cool bike.

It comes with an integrated cuisenart food processor. The wheels double as blades.

i was on-line hunting for a $5 bike with coaster brakes when i came across the Giatex; i just wondered if it was worth the $75 they want for it. truth is i have no idea if i will have room for any type of bike, so offers of piggy-back taxi service will be awesome...hint...hint
