Bike Friday tikit - 05 - The fastest folding bicycle

I just bought one of these. Amazing bikes! To be fair, the guy in this video is REAL good at folding/unfolding it, but this is real.

I had a Dahon. The frame cracked full through at the seat post after 4 years. Only commuting stress -- 3 miles each way for 6 months of the year. Very disappointing. I'm getting a Bike Friday which I'm hoping will last longer. The rolling fold is very useful as is the fold speed.

That is great! But I reckon my S2L Brompton folds into a smaller package. Not a major consideration for most people, but a bloody big deal if you take them on trains as I do.

I suppose if the trains are very packed that must be true. Here in the SF Bay area, it is no problem to fit the tikit on any public transportation.

Just got one of these myself. Very handy. Since it is so convenient to have indoors and put in the car, I take it more places and ride it more often than I ever would a regular bike. And the gear range is really good for my needs. My work place is a facility on a fairly steep hill (20-30% incline), and the low gears are adequate for getting around in the hilly area as well.

Well, there are fasteners, but not quick release. You have to actually loosen a screw to adjust the height of the seat and/or the handlebars.

The mezzo transforms a little more, but I like this bike (tikit) better.

the Model T costs like $1,000 with nothing extra on it.

Check the Mobiky.

can you even ride sitting down?
