Greetings fellow cyclists,
This is to confirm the folding-bike demo gathering in Durham on Sunday, Jan. 11, from 1 to 4 p.m., which I mentioned last month. It will feature the Bike Friday brand of folding bike, arguably the world’s best. (They’re also the priciest, starting at $1,000.)
The sponsoring bike shop and only Bike Friday dealer in the state is the very cool Neighborhood Transportation in Lewisville (just west of Winston-Salem), specializing in recumbent and folding bikes. Owner and cycling advocate Bruce Hermann might bring a few recumbents as well, though folders will be the focus. There will be *no* pressure to buy anything. Also, I’ve heard from many folding bike owners of various brands who are happy to bring their bikes for show and tell as well. All makes and models are welcome.
To streamline organization, I’ll share details here, but I would be VERY appreciative if folks RSVP’d to me directly so I have some idea of numbers to pass along to Bruce.
