Bike Friday Tikit

[Blueberry]

I didn't get to ride the tikit at the demo yesterday, but did get to see it fold. It's very quick - and it does form a compact package - unlike my Friday (which requires a bag to stay in 1 piece).

There were a couple of people there that have them - and they said up to 20 miles would be OK, and that they climb really well. They also have a preference for the less expensive model (where the fold is more manual). They said the other one wasn't as secure-feeling when riding.

Hope that helps!

From the video demo, I was leaning towards the model with the levers thinking they looked more secure. I don't think I'd trust riding a bike that snapped into place with no levers or tightening. Not too surprised to hear they're more of a short ride workhorse.

Thanks for the info, and thanks for checking this out, CA.
