Hello Bike Friday friends in NYC,

Are you ready to Escape NY on a Friday this Saturday?

Thanks to the generosity of the New York Cycle Club, yours truly (BF Customer Evangelist) and a couple of rabid NY BF customers will be manning a Bike Friday table at the post ride gathering in Sakura Park opposite Grant's Tomb.

Today Eugene, Oregon - tomorrow, NYC. Read the story behind this clip

We'll be demonstrating the joy of *convenient* bicycle commuting with our "Made in America", multi-modal Bike Fridays tikit. Yup, it really does fold and unfold that fast, and ride nice. Check out the video at the right, view fun tikit on Trial in NYC experiments, and for newbies, here's a quick primer on Bike Friday. I'll also be demo'ing my 3-in-1 reversible, Made in NYC Traffic Cone Bags and raffling it.

Asking a favor ... To save our little company a lot of air freight and keep our carbon emissions low, I planned on borrowing some demo Fridays from our downtown dealer bfold.com. But he's had a run on Fridays and awaiting new stock in October. So I'm reaching out to our Friday community. I would love to display a Tourist, a Rocket and perhaps a tandem set up the way you like to ride it, from around 10.30am to 6pm. Do you think you can help? Roll up, leave it in good hands, ride it home. Or hang with me at the booth for a while!

Also, if anyone is doing the actual ride, do pop by the table with your Friday afterwards, and feel free to help field the frequent "don't you have to pedal more?" question.

I'll be demonstrating my size small princess pink, 5-second folding Bike Friday tikit, plus my custom Pocket Rocket Pro Petite - the sub-20 lb, performance road bike designed for the smaller, lighter rider.
