Pacific Cycles Birdy availability in the USA ?

Birdy models marketed by Pacific Cycles are "built up" differently than are R&M Birdy Bikes (e.g. available without lights, fenders...) and are thus lighter in weight. Will Pacific Cycles ship to...

Lightening the Birdy?

Light is GOOD! (Particularly for this back-injured senior who finds it difficult to lift heavy folders into the back of his car :( ) I was not aware of the Birdy having much in the way of major steel...
