His Bike Friday: Performance that Packs
by Joshua Liberles on December 28, 2007
If your neat-freak roommate gets uptight when you wheel your bike in the living room, or you can’t find a safe spot to lock up your wheels on the street, a Eugene, Oregon company has the solution. Bike Friday, a company named for Robinson Crusoe’s trusted companion, “Man Friday,” makes collapsible bikes that fold down (or up) in five seconds flat.
Bike Friday makes performance bicycles that can be custom-ordered to meet the needs of serious cyclists and commuters, alike. Stuff it in your suitcase or your shopping cart, carry it on a crowded subway car, or stash it in your tiny, six-story walk-up apartment without breaking a sweat. Petite models weigh as little as 16 lbs, and prices start at just under $600.
Green Gear Cycling, Inc., the company that manufactures the bikes, is committed to making cycling a more convenient mode of transport to diminish dependence on oil and enhance personal health. According to their official web site, “Bike Friday’s cause: to make the world a safer, healthier and more sustainable place through cycling.”
