A little earlier this week our daughter placed her order for a Bike Friday NWT.
She needs a good fitting bike for both keeping up with her 12 year old son on their twice weekly "training" rides (he's a track racer) and also for going to the store.
She found that women's road bikes weren't comfortable and with Arthritis in her hands she also had some special needs. She test rode a BF at the local dealer and found it to be more adjustable and better fitting than comparably priced standard bicycles.
She has to transport the bikes in her SUV, and a having one be a folder will make it a lot easier to fit them in without dis-assembly.
The interesting thing is that she has never ridden our folders, so other than hearing us extol their virtues, she was never pushed toward that solution.
