Bike Friday Folding Bicycles - How Fast Are They?

[wilkbor]

I test rode a BIke Friday and was generally impressed with how it handled. It was every bit as fast as a regular road bike and felt similar. There were a couple of differences. The wheelbase seemed a little shorter than most other road bikes, which made it very maneuverable at slow speeds (much more so than a regular road bike), but slightly less stable at high speeds. In general, I was impressed but not enough to buy one.

I'll keep my comfort bike and touring bike. The folding bikes are fine for some, I wouldn't feel safe riding in all this traffic here.....
