Bike Friday sounds like what Robinson Crusoe\’s friend rides, doesn\’t it? Of course I\’ve heard of \”My good man Friday\”; but I\’ll have to read that book one of these days. So far I\’ve never gotten around to it.

Actually, Bike Friday is a folding bicycle. If you have to fly a lot with your bike, this folding bike\’s  small (20-inch) wheels allow the bike to fit into a smaller case than a \”normal\” bicycle needs.

According to The Complete Book of Long-Distance Cycling, a Bike Friday rides much like any other bicycle. It can be rigged for touring. It\’s even been spotted in Paris-Brest-Paris.

If your living space is small, a folding bicycle should be easier to store. If you bicycle to work, wouldn\’t it be great to be able to fold your bicycle and carry it in with you? When you go grocery shopping, could you fold up the bike and stow it on the rack under the shopping cart?

I can\’t guarantee any of that, but as we all love to say, TGIF!
