Quotes from Air bike owners

"If I could only own one bike, it would be my Bike Friday Air Llama. It offers the best all-round riding experience of any bike."
- Richard Drdul, drdul | at | telus.net

"Unbelievable!!!
Today was the maiden voyage on my brand new Air Friday. Unbelievable is the only word that I can use to summarize my initial experience. The bike handles perfectly and, with the ti beam, was as comfortable as any other bike that I have experienced. As a matter of fact, I’m considering selling my Trek 5200 and using the BF as my full time ride. By the way, the coolness factor on the bike is very high, too."

Benson and neighbor Harv Vij with their matching Air Fridays

"Thoughts after 8,000 miles... I’ve owned a reasonable number of bicycles over the years and my Air Friday is definitely the best of the bunch. A backinjury put me out of commission for a while and I thought that the beam of the AF would be a nice way to avoid additional back problems. I found the AF so good that I stopped using my custom Della Santa completely. The AF is just as efficient and has a zippier, more responsive feel when descending. I discovered that you CAN quick fold the AF after removing the wing nut and store it in my home office by nicely tucking the folded assemblage next to my desk. My neighbor, a triathlete, liked it so much that he ordered one identical to mine. Considering the custom sizing, portability, comfort and efficiency of the bike, I have a hard time seeing why anyone would buy anything else, assuming that they were thinking about a $2K or greater bike."

Air Bikes in the News

Air Llama

- Cycling Today "The Air Llama handled almost everything we threw at it, and more importantly, it was great fun to ride off-road."

- Women's Sports and Fitness "A suitcase-compatible mountain bike that handles rugged terrain better than some full-size bikes."

- Cathay Pacific Discovery "The bike is perfect for the serious rider who needs to train while travelling, the business traveller who wants to ride while out of town, and the adventure tourist who needs a rugged, dependable expedition bike."

Air Friday

- Bicycling magazine "The AirFriday is a pleasure to ride long distances, or even to race. We're betting you may even end up liking it more than your big-wheel bike."
