Share the Love
The biggest motivation for our Pre-Loved program is to see that everyone has an opportunity to own a Bike Friday.
It might sound a little far-fetched in these cynical days of focus on the bottom line, but really, at the end of the day, we just want to see people on bikes: American bikes Made in the USA.
With that said, we ran across this most interesting manner in which one can obtain a Bike Friday tikit.
Best of all, it’s free!
You might wonder why we’d be promoting someone giving away a Bike Friday when we could just as easily sell you one.
But it pains us to think there is a Bike Friday out there in need of a wonderful owner who can use its versatility to change his or her life, just as this one did for the previous owner [sorry, you’ll have to read the blog to learn how it did that).
So here goes. Read, enter and GOOD LUCK!

The Landlords in Portland have begun to understand the value of cycling infrastructure. It’s just part of the culture of Portland that is leading the way.
While you check out the article, also take a good look at the organization presenting this blog, PeopleforBikes.org.
It’s one of the organizations out there that can help you make a difference in the world.

Specialization
Found this interesting post, very poetic and somewhat thought provoking. So much so, we could overlook the miscue on describing the origin of design for the Bike Friday tikit in the photo.

Gas Consumption Down in NW
This interesting report by the Sightline Institute reports that drivers in Oregon and Washington are consuming less gasoline.
We think that’s great news for everyone, whether you are on a Bike Friday helping the cause or not.
