Commuter
Fold and go. Sounds so simple. But, it's not. That's what sets our tikit commuter bikes apart.
When we say fold and go, we mean it. We don't mean fold, reassemble, readjust and go.
Bike Friday commuter bikes are designed from the ground up to unfold and ride. We mean really ride. Not just 2 or 3 miles to the station or around the park. These little wheeled wonders are being used for trips. We mean travel and ride, carry bags, see the countryside. These are not one-size-fits all trunk sitters but real bikes for everday.
We also build a wide variety of Customized tikits. Some of our other models are:
One Way tikit: Fixed gear.
Just the tikit: Basic commuter.
Season tikit: Internal hub for commuting.
Express tikit: H-bar touring.
Speeding tikit: Drop bar road bike.
Carbon Drive tikit: Carbon belt drive.
One of the founders has done century rides on his Express tikit and rides his Speeding tikit regularly on the lunch road ride. Click on the Concierge Button on the left for Customized options.

"Model T" tikit - 2012
The Model T tikit is Bike Friday's most affordable quick fold great riding compact folder.
With 16-inch wheels and 8 speeds, the Model T offers all the basic elements of a wonderful commuting, or recreational bike built to not only fold but to be ridden a lot.
It folds fast -- in just less than 10 seconds after loosening one twist-locking fastener. Not quite as fast as the quickest folding technology here at Bike Friday, but plenty fast for most. It also unfolds fast and maintains your seat and handlebar adjustments.
The Model T can be dressed up with all our travel accessories inlcuding racks and bags, and it comes from the same reliable design philosophy as all Bike Friday travel bikes. That means it will perform and last.
Originally called the Model T because it has a 'twiddly' knob instead of the 'Hyper' fold that has no 'twiddly' realeases. (the hyper fold is magic) And it also only comes in Ink Black, recalling Ford's original Marketing theme about the Model T Ford.
