Well, hey! I’m not the only one:
Spotted while on my way to see Coraline in 3D at the Arclight, which by the way is quite a treat!
(Uh… in case you’re wondering, I’m talking about folding bikes on public transport in LA. It is rare to see another folding bike in use in this city. For more on mine, the lovely Brompton, see e.g. here, here, and here, or use the search engine.)

That’s a pretty female too.
You’re definitely not alone! Although I don’t see a lot of folding bikes on public transport, I do see them on the streets and also along the West Side Hwy bike path here in NYC.
Nice posting!
Yes, I imagine they are rare in LA. I enjoyed a great Dahon folding bike here in NYC. Perfect not just for public transport, but other tiny spaces we have to manage all the time in NY: elevators & our little apartments!
Psh, you should come to Laos. Lots of bikes here, most foldable! Granted it’s not for the same reasons, as I’m sure most people here can only afford a bike, but it is fun to think it’s weird to spot a car or go weeks without seeing an airplane.
Wonderful! Pictures on your blog please…?
Cheers,
