Thinking again about the mini, the bag idea might work similarly to the Tikit with respect to rolling if it were tailor made. Because the handlebar fits between the fold, a tightly fit bag would probably hold it together well. But that's only an untested hypothesis...
You are welcome. Although I have never located a source for that device. If you find one--maybe ask the YAHOO Birdy Friends Group--please pass the information along.
I actually submitted a post on the YAK group regarding the front rack on the Tikit hoping that someone at Bike Friday would respond; but no such luck. I did just read that Bike Friday is looking to further develop the rear rack such that it will stand when folded.
I just installed that Nashbar front rack on my Nova. Pretty useful. Probably the equivalent to two or three wedges. I have not experimented with it much yet. But it also looks like one could bungee books or shoes to the front as well.
Checking out the NWT, I think that the rack will fit on it as well. That is, I can see no reason why it would not. So I would be willing to bet that there would be no issue with its installation.
As I wrote in another thread, I have reached the point that I need to test ride the mini and curve before proceeding much further. I need to find an excuse to go to Philly.
