Dh and I have gone on a couple of tours run by a couple who both ride BFs every where. They said they had even ridden them up Alp D'huez--although they did hear hoots of derision from other riders and the locals.

Well I got to see my new BikeFriday today but didn't get to take it home. Ran into a minor issue. Due to some physical limitations, I need a seatpost that is pretty setback (I need a little more crank forward than most people). So I took my seat post with me but they didn't have a shim in stock to fit the seatpost in the seat tube. Need a 22.2 to 26.0 shim. So they will probably have to order it. I didn't get a good picture of it put together, but I did take a few pictures of the bike as they were showing me how to pack it. I'll post pictures of the finished bike once we get there.

If I may ask - what seatpost do you use? My Friday fit is now good (they had to send me another seatpost), but I have 2 other bikes with issues...

I've been using a BMX layback seatpost. The setback would be pretty extreme for most people but works well for me.
Here is one similar to the one that I took with me.

Here is another similar to what I have on my current mountain bike.

I had a BF Pocket Rocket, and it was one of the best bikes I ever owned. Performs flawlessly, easy to pack, and I took it everywhere....if I only could find a recumbent one now...

I think they used to make one called a Sat'rday. They have a pre-owned one for sale on their site now. http://community.bikefriday.com/node/11311

Must. Not. Open. Link.
Seriously, I've been wanting a recumbent that's easier to take places than the rather large bike I have now. I'll just have to wait 'til I win the lottery, though.
And I won't even open the link. I know better.Give big space to the festive dog that make sport in the roadway. Avoid entanglement with your wheel spoke.
