The last time I did that, I rode a bike. It was ok.

Did it fit in the overhead luggage compartment after?

On the particular trip in question, I was actually meeting someone who had just flown in (with her bike).

But yeah, I have flown with my bike quite a few times. It's mildly annoying.

I've done that a few times with my Strida (admittedly checked rather than overhead compartment). You'd probably get away with bringing a Brompton as hand luggage, although it's technically slightly over the limit.
