    It is now posted on eBay. No bids yet, but have a bid option and buy it now option, so I would guess something will happen close to the end of the auction time as that is how it often goes on eBay.

    Patience is your friend. It often takes a while to sell Bike Fridays because they require a certain type of person who is familiar with them to pay real money on a funny looking bike. Also, a big chunk of the country has other things to deal with at the moment...but a Bike Friday sure would be a great thing to have in NYC right now! So if you don't sell it right away, don't give up. (I already have one).

    That is my feeling exactly. No big deal either way. If it is meant to be it will be, in the time it is meant to happen.

    How involved is it to fold and unfold? We keep talking about a couple of folders to throw in the back of the car for trips into town.

    Bike Fridays are very easy to do the Quick Fold. Packing for travel is a bit more involved. I'm pretty sure you can find YouTube videos demonstrating the quick fold.

    I concur with tulip. We took our Bike Fridays from NC to Ohio this summer to visit my DH's parents and do some cycling. We folded and unfolded them several times to put them into and take them out of the soft cases. Easy-peasy. 5 minutes max. Packing them back into the suitcases for storage was a lot more involved, maybe 20 minutes each. My only complaint is that Bike Friday should make the soft cases just a little larger...even with my XS petite Pocket Crusoe, they are almost impossible to zip up. I am sure just a tiny bit more slack wouldn't add much to the cost. They may have changed them since we got them in 2004, though.

    It would be good to mention in your listing that your New World Tourist is NOT affected by the stem breaking problems of the BF 16" Tikits. (alas, poor us!)
    Each day is a gift, that's why it is called the present.

    Nope. Almost impossible to get the bike in, and downright unpleasant to carry in my experience. I don't use the soft case much at all.

    Someone needs to snap up this bike!! Otherwise, I'd be tempted as another commuter (but I don't *need* another commuter).
