Hi all
First of all I should 'front-up' that I work for Bigfish so please be nice to me.

I'd like to thank you for all your comments - it's genuinely helpful hearing you talking about our niche. Your input does really help us, and helps us improve the next generations of the bike.

On the point of the pic with the 'mad person' and the bike - If I could draw your attention to it in this video, http://bit.ly/5YQ1bj (and not the village-of-the-damned photo that was chosen for the website) it shows how the wheeling of the folded bike really works. Quite a unique benefit this is.

When folded it's also a lot nicer to store and carry than some of the other more traditional folds, as it's actually very narrow and sits on four little feet.

I think what you write, Chop!, is fair about being more of a cruiser. We're not there (yet, with this model) to compete with the serious long-distance, speeding commuters, but for weekenders, 3-4mile commutes, leisure riding and style-conscious, we're finding a good niche.

We're also finding that the styling and colouring of the Bigfish is appealing to the increasing amounts of female cyclists, which can only be good I'm sure you'll agree! The pink one in particular is a real hit.

Would love to see them if you do have any pics from SPEZI?

Finally, are any of you going to be at the Smithfield Nocturne Folding Bike Race next month? If so, hope to see you there!
