I like your foldy bike idea for a kid. My son (at 10) is still riding the Redline Junior he got at 5 or 6m but the seatpost is hyperextended. "Mini" and "Junior" BMX bikes are like the 'cross bikes of the BMX world. His bike weighs 15 lbs, and I added a front sidepull. They're pretty common on Craigslist for $150 ($300 new). http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/bik/2089766438.html
