If you want to look like a retiree then those folding bikes with 16" wheels
are just great. Try a properly sized bike that folds:

Those little wheels have greater rolling resistance and a harsher ride than
larger wheeled bikes. They're great for circus acts and riding up and down
the driveway.

If you must insist on small wheels then try:

It doesn't get much more compact than that.

I find myself at a crossroad and soliciting comments on folding bikes.

I want one with speeds, My ~35 year old folding bike has been through
numerous tires and even a couple of wheels. When it was new it was a
three speed but when that rear hub died the local shops told me they
couldn't get one with speeds so I settled for what was in stock.

can anyone recommend any bicycle shops in the Homestead/Miami/Ft
Lauderdale area? TIA,

If you take the seat off the unicycle, I'm sure you'd get a lot of use out
of it.
