My Interview With “Bike Friday”
June 22, 2008 by Darren Alff · 2 Comments
I recently had the pleasure of traveling to Aruba with a Bike Friday New World Tourist folding bicycle. I posted a few short articles (here, here, here, and here) about my new bicycle and received quite a bit of feedback.
Some people wrote to ask me about the bike and how it handled. Others wrote to tell me that they already owned a Bike Friday and that they absolutely loved it! Some even sent me pictures!

Flying With A “Bike Friday”
May 5, 2008 by Darren Alff · 1 Comment
One of biggest advantages of owning a folding bike like a Bike Friday is the fact that the bike can fold down and fit inside a suitcase – thus enabling you to save a significant amount of money when traveling by plane.
As you may or may not know, most airlines charge approximately $80 per direction to fly a full size bicycle on an airplane. And even at this price, you still have to box the bike up, somehow get it to the airport, hope it passes inspection, and arrives all in one piece.
But with a folding bike, you can avoid all of these hassles. Read more

Packing My “Bike Friday” Folding Bicycle For The Very First Time
May 2, 2008 by Darren Alff · 1 Comment
I purchased a brand new Bike Friday New World Tourist folding bicycle just two shorts weeks ago… and since that time I’ve unpacked the bike, packed it up again, flew with it to Aruba, put the bike together for the second time, spent seven days riding the bicycle around the island, got 1 flat tire, packed up the bike again tonight… and tomorrow I’ll be flying home, where I will once again put the bike together so that I can ride it around town. Whew!
It sounds like a lot of work, but you know what? It was actually pretty easy!
Compared to what I used to have to do with my full-size touring bike when I traveled by plane, traveling with my Bike Friday has really been a breeze. And best of all, I really like the bike! (But more on that later). Read more

My new Bike Friday folding bike arrived in the mail yesterday and I immediately whipped it out of the box and started putting it together.
It took me about a half hour to get the bike out of its suitcase, read all the instructions, put it together, and get it out the door for my very first ride!
My new bike is a Bike Friday New World Tourist, and my plan is to use this bike for my upcoming trip to Aruba. Read more

Less than one hour ago I purchased my very first folding bike - A Bike Friday New World Tourist.

With this setup, I will be a totally self-contained traveler. Read more
