# Bicycle Times review of Bike Friday

When *Bicycle Times* contacted Bike Friday to do a review, they focused their attention on our Travel System.

Online Editor Adam Newman wanted to see what it was really like to fly with your Bike Friday in a Travel Case, then transform the Travel Case into a Trailer, and explore.

Adam had the system for a few months, and used it when he flew out from their headquarters in Pittsburgh to attend Interbike in Las Vegas.

**Adam's review appears in the December issue of *Bicycle Times*. We thought we'd share a few excerpts:**

*"We've ridden and written about some folding bikes in the past year -- and there are more on the way -- but Bike Friday stands out as the first one I've sampled that performs as well as a traditional bike....*

*"All the contact points match my regular bike exactly. If I were riding blindfolded, I could probably still tell it apart from one with larger wheels, but not by much....*

*"As a unit, the Bike Friday New World Tourist and Travel Case really impressed me. I was able to bring it with me across the country and enjoy riding 'my own' bike in a distant city....*

*"I would not hesitate to recommend it for general commuting or open road riding as well."*
