Msincredible., I talked to a guy riding a Bike Friday today at the Marin Headlands. I asked him how it handled, climbed, if it was stiff enough if you're cranking hard, etc. He gave me the impression that he has ridden several brands of folders and he said Bike Friday was the best, and he kinda indicated that it was as good as a road bike for his purposes (although I didn't ask him exactly what he used it for). I think you've already come to this conclusion, but I just wanted to add what little data I had.

What about those of us who have only one bike? Can we bring our speed machines and feel fast for just one day as we blow past all the hybrids and recumbs on the uphills?

The mind boggles at the thought of only having one bike. But... I guess that'd be okay, if you promise to work on your bicycle deficiency.

Well right now, I only have one bike, unless you count the Duc.

I do. It's a two-wheeled conveyance!
Besides, your lack of multiple-bicycle-ness is not of your own doing.

True, but I don't know that you want me taking the Duc on the "other bike" ride.
Unless I bring some bungee cords along that is.

Two conditions:
a) You bring bungee cords.
b) You participate in the ride swap. (Or at least give me a ride, come on!)

Bugger.
I should probably get one someday, though. Good first step.

If it's a flat route, I think I'll ride this:
Or, if we're not going too fast, maybe this:
Hey, maybe if I can find someone to ride with me, then this:
....so many bikes, so little time.....

Mine will feel more like a limo. It's a comfy seat, and you'll have your hands free for drinking wine or eating cookies. Done deal!!!

I think I'd probably break the tandem semi-recumbent, uh, thing no matter where I sat. Now, the recumbent folding thing, that looks interesting.
