Today i walked into my nightwatch job with my Twenty in hand (usually bring it indoors) and there was this guest sitting there. He took one look at my rigg and inquired: 'Is that a Bike Friday?'
That made me pretty happy! Turns out he is an avid cyclist that owns a Bent, a tourer, a racer, an MTB and a BF (not many people in the Netherlands have them!). So he knows what they look like and at first glance thought my bike was one.
I asked him about his BF and he said he liked it but that he didn't use it all that much anymore. He said that one thing which he found dissapointing is that it did not serve well/fold well enough for multi mode commuting. I agreed that it was a pity that BF didn't have that functionality. He also said he would never ever dare leaving his BF outside for fear of theft. Felt pretty darn good about my Twenty, which i do take on trains, lock up outside my door and costs about half of the cheapest BF (ok ok, so the BF is better in other ways). :)
