It's a 29 inch wheel. I had a situation once where the driver contacted
the dispatcher to see if it was OK. Other than that, no issues.

I just came back from a vacation where I brought a 24 on the bus in
Portland, Oregon. No issues. I did call the transit company first and
ask. I believe their rule is that anything the size of a folding bike
is OK.

My Coker may be another story :-)

Benefits are twofold for Wu: He has cut his transportation cost from
more than $200 per month to about $100 month, saves energy and reduces
-carbon dioxide emissions-.

Since when has breathing been known to pollute?

Awesome story though.
